maleate
Dicarboxylic acid derivative
Maleate is a chemical salt or ester of maleic acid, commonly encountered as part of pharmaceutical compound names: chlorpheniramine maleate, enalapril maleate.
The maleate form often improves a drug's stability or absorption.
Outside pharmacy, maleates appear in industrial chemistry and polymer production.
