High quality 99% Succimer Dimercaptosuccinic Acid Powder CAS 304-55-2 Dmsa

Succimer is a widely used chelating agent for the treatment of Pb poisoning.
Succimer is a sulfur-containing carboxylic acid that is succinic acid bearing two mercapto substituents at positions 2 and 3. A lead chelator used as an antedote to lead poisoning. It has a role as a chelator. It is a dicarboxylic acid, a dithiol and a sulfur-containing carboxylic acid.|A mercaptodicarboxylic acid used as an antidote to heavy metal poisoning because it forms strong chelates with them.|Succimer is a Lead Chelator. The mechanism of action of succimer is as a Lead Chelating Activity.|Succimer is an oral heavy metal chelating agent used to treat lead and heavy metal poisoning. Succimer has been linked to a low rate of transient serum aminotransferase elevations during therapy, but its use has not been linked to cases of clinically apparent liver injury with jaundice.|Succimer is an orally active mercaptodicarboxylic acid, with heavy metal chelating activity. As a strong chelator, succimer is able to bind to heavy metals, such as lead, in the bloodstream, thereby forming a water-soluble complex that can be eliminated via urinary excretion. This prevents heavy metal poisoning. In addition, succimer is able to chelate the alpha particle emitter and radionuclide polonium Po 210 ((Po-210), thereby increasing its excretion and reducing the toxic effects of Po-210.
