CAS 492-18-2: Mersalyl

Description: Mersalyl, with the CAS number 492-18-2, is a chemical compound that belongs to the class of organomercury compounds. It is primarily recognized for its use as a diuretic and has been studied for its potential therapeutic applications. Mersalyl is characterized by the presence of mercury, which is central to its structure and activity. The compound typically appears as a white crystalline solid and is soluble in organic solvents. Its mechanism of action involves the inhibition of sodium reabsorption in the kidneys, leading to increased urine output. However, due to the toxicity associated with mercury compounds, the use of Mersalyl has been limited and is approached with caution. Safety considerations are paramount, as mercury exposure can lead to serious health issues, including neurotoxicity and organ damage. Consequently, while Mersalyl has historical significance in pharmacology, its application is restricted in modern medicine due to the risks associated with mercury toxicity.
