Abstract
1-Hydroxy-3-amino-alkane-1,1-diphosphonic acids having the formula ##STR1## wherein X is a member selected from the group consisting of ##STR2## and ##STR3## wherein R1 is a member selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and alkyl having 1 to 3 carbon atoms and R2 is alkyl having 1 to 3 carbon atoms; as well as their water-soluble salts. The 1-hydroxy-3-amino-alkane-1,1-diphosphonic acids are excellent sequestering agents especially for alkaline earth metal ions. The compounds are useful in pharmaceutical preparations for treatment of disturbances of calcium or phosphate metabolism or cosmetic preparations such as toothpastes or mouthwashes for the prevention of tartar and plaque depositions.
