A capping agent is used during nanoparticle synthesis to inhibit particle growth and aggregation. The chemical blocks or reduces reactivity at the periphery of the particle—a good capping agent has a high affinity for the new nuclei. [112] Citrate ions or tannic acid function both as a reducing agent and a capping agent.
Cellulose acetate phthalate (CAP), also known as cellacefate and cellulosi acetas phthalas, is a commonly used polymer phthalate in the formulation of pharmaceuticals, such as the enteric coating of tablets or capsules and for controlled release formulations.
In the manufacture of pharmaceuticals, encapsulation refers to a range of dosage forms—techniques used to enclose medicines—in a relatively stable shell known as a capsule, allowing them to, for example, be taken orally or be used as suppositories. The two main types of capsules are:
The attachment of these capping/stabilizing agents slows and eventually stops the growth of the particle. [5] The most common capping ligands are trisodium citrate and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), but many others are also used in varying conditions to synthesize particles with particular sizes, shapes, and surface properties.

It can be used for root-end filling material and as pulp capping material. It has better pulpotomy outcomes than calcium hydroxide or formocresol, and may be the best known material, as of 2018 data. [1] For pulp capping, it has a success rate higher than calcium hydroxide, and indistinguishable from Biodentin. [2]
Dimercaprol is a copper chelating agent that has been approved by the FDA to treat Wilson's disease. [ 8 ] Dimercaprol also shows effectiveness against snakebite by potently antagonizing the activity of Zn 2+ -dependent snake venom metalloproteinases in vitro .
2,3-Dimercapto-1-propanesulfonic acid (abbreviated DMPS) and its sodium salt (known as Unithiol) are chelating agents that form complexes with various heavy metals. They are related to dimercaprol , which is another chelating agent.
