Trientine (triethylenetetramine, TETA) is a polyamine copper-chelating agent that forms stable complexes with copper ions, promoting urinary copper excretion and reducing systemic copper accumulation in Wilson's disease (hepatolenticular degeneration), a genetic disorder of copper metabolism due to ATP7B mutations. It is used as an alternative to penicillamine in patients who are intolerant to or who fail penicillamine therapy. Its chelation of excess hepatic and systemic copper prevents oxidative liver injury and neurological damage characteristic of untreated Wilson's disease.
