NCIt definition : The zinc salt form of diethylene triamine pentaacetate (Zn-DTPA or pentetate zinc)
with chelating activity. Upon administration, Zn-DTPA loses the Zn ion to form stable
chelates with metal ions because DTPA has a higher affinity for heavy metal ions than
for Zn ions. Specifically, this agent is able to bind to and form strong complexes
with the radioactive plutonium, americium, and cerium after internal contamination.
The formation of these heavy metal chelates enhances radionuclide excretion.;
