Aminocaproates are a group of chemical compounds that contain an amino group and a carboxylic acid group, as well as a cyclohexane ring with a propyl side chain. One common representative of this group is ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA), which is widely used in medical treatments for its ability to chelate metal ions, such as calcium and magnesium. This property makes EDTA useful in the treatment of heavy metal poisoning, calcific uremic arteriolopathy, and digitalis toxicity, among other conditions. However, it is important to note that the use of aminocaproates in medicine is generally limited to EDTA and a few other specific compounds with unique therapeutic properties.
