List various chelating agents. Discuss their therapeutic uses.

Chelating agents are compounds capable of forming complex structures with metal ions, effectively removing them from biological systems. These agents have diverse applications in pharmacology and toxicology due to their ability to bind to metal ions and facilitate their elimination from the body. Here is a discussion of various chelating agents and their therapeutic uses:

1. EDTA (Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid):
   - EDTA is one of the most widely used chelating agents in medicine. It forms stable complexes with divalent and trivalent metal ions such as lead, mercury, and cadmium.
