Dimercaptosuccinic acid

Description:

Dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) is a dicarboxylic acid characterized by the presence of two thiol (-SH) groups and two carboxylic acid (-COOH) groups in its molecular structure. It is a white crystalline solid that is soluble in water and exhibits chelating properties, allowing it to bind to heavy metals and facilitate their excretion from the body. DMSA is commonly used in medical applications, particularly in the treatment of heavy metal poisoning, such as lead and mercury toxicity. Its ability to form stable complexes with metal ions enhances its efficacy as a chelating agent. Additionally, DMSA has been investigated for its potential antioxidant properties and its role in various biochemical pathways. The compound is generally considered to have low toxicity, making it suitable for therapeutic use. However, like any chemical substance, it should be handled with care, and its use should be guided by appropriate medical advice.

Dimercaptosuccinic acid is a chemical that belongs to the class of dithiols. It has been used for the treatment of squamous cell carcinoma and urinary tract infections. Dimercaptosuccinic acid has shown long-term toxicity in rats and mice, with increased urinary bladder damage and decreased renal function. Dimercaptosuccinic acid is a fluorescent probe that can be used to diagnose oxidative injury in rats. It also binds to disulfide bonds in proteins, which can be quantified using plasma mass spectrometry.
