Iron-nta(nitrilotriacetate) solution induces severe nephrotoxicity and
high accidence of renal carcinoma in rats and mice, however, the effe
ct by an iron-pac(2-aminomethylpyridine-N,N-diacetate) solution is neg
ligible. These facts were interpreted in terms of different reactivity
of the two compounds toward hydrogen peroxide.
