<p>Dicitrate cyclic diester (dicitrate) is a novel compound which is found in patients who do not exhibit symptoms or predisposition to idiopathic renal calculous disease. Dicitrate can be isolated and detected by novel chromatographic methods. Further, treating patients prophylactically and therapeutically with dicitrate cyclic diester can prevent or reduce the effects of calcification-related disease, including some types of kidney stones, or other disease or condition associated with the presence of metal ions. The metal ion complexing properties exhibited by dicitrate are also applicable to the use of the subject compounds as chelating agents and methods of binding, and thereby reducing, the amounts of metal ions in a substance.</p> |
