I would tend to think of them as " agents " rather than " medications " ,

etc. As this " capture " would often be by pairing (it takes one to catch

one), could these be " ion pairing agents " ? I do also find " ion-capture

agents " , but it is used sparingly.

However, I am not a physicist, or a chemist, or even a physician, so you

may want to find confirmation for your larger context.

If French may help, you have the big class of the " Agents complexants "

which includes " les chélateurs " , " les ligands " and " les agents

échangeurs d'ions " , i.e. respectively " complexing agents " , " chelating

agents " , " ligands " and " ion-exchanger agents "

Hope this help
