Description

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.
