Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

TPEN, also known as TPEDA, is a cell permeant metal ion chelator that is used in zinc treatment studies to limit intra- and extracellular concentrations of the mineral. TPEN Attenuates Neuronal Death/apoptosis Caused by Hypoxia/ischemia Via Mediating the Pathophysiological Cascade Including Excitotoxicity, Oxidative Stress, and Inflammation. TPEN prevents rapid pacing-induced calcium overload and nitration stress in HL-1 myocytes.
