Dimercaprol

Description:

Dimercaprol, also known as British Anti-Lewisite (BAL), is a chelating agent primarily used in the treatment of heavy metal poisoning, particularly arsenic, mercury, and lead. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor reminiscent of garlic. The chemical structure of dimercaprol features two thiol (-SH) groups, which enable it to form stable complexes with metal ions, facilitating their excretion from the body. Dimercaprol is soluble in water and organic solvents, making it versatile for various applications. It is administered via intramuscular injection and is known for its potential side effects, including hypertension, tachycardia, and allergic reactions. Due to its reactivity, it must be handled with care, and its use is typically reserved for specific clinical scenarios. Dimercaprol's effectiveness in chelation therapy has made it an important compound in toxicology and emergency medicine, although its use has declined in favor of other chelating agents with fewer side effects.

2,3-Dimercapto-1-propanol

CAS: 59-52-9

2,3-Dimercapto-1-propanol (DMPC) is an antibiotic that has been shown to have a potent synergistic effect when used in combination with other antibiotics. DMPC inhibits the enzyme fatty acid synthase and prevents the synthesis of long-chain fatty acids. It also inhibits the uptake of long-chain fatty acids by tissues such as liver, muscle, and fat cells. DMPC is also a reactive chemical that reacts with oxygen from the air to form 2,3-dimercapto-1-propanol peroxyl radicals and hydrogen peroxide. These reactive species are toxic to cells exposed to DMPC in tissue culture or in vivo. This chemical is also a potent inducer of all-trans retinoic acid and dehydroascorbic acid production.
