Dimercaptosuccinic Acid DMSA Powder is the organosulfur compound with the formula HO2CCH(SH)CH(SH)CO2H. This colorless solid contains two carboxylic acid and two thiol groups, the latter being responsible for its mildly unpleasant odour. It occurs in two diastereomers, meso and the chiral dl forms. The meso isomer is used as achelating agent. The acid is most often used as a treatment for heavy metal toxicity, and is a water soluble and non-toxic substance.
The relative activities of a series of novel monoalkyl esters of meso-2,3-dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) have been examined as agents for the mobilization of cadmium, lead and arsenic owing to the ability of these monoesters to cross cell membranes. The monoesters were found to be more effective than the parent compound DMSA.
Intermediate of sodium dimercaptosuccinate. Used as an antidote, metal masking agent.
