Efficacy of 2,3-dimercaptopropanol (BAL) and 2,3-dimercapto-ipropane sulfate (DMPS) on long-term mercuric chloride exposure in rats: Toxicological and pathological studies.

Research Abstract

The study found that the use of BAL and DMPS as chelating agents after long-term of mercuric exposure resulted in considerable recovery in the histopathological, hematological. and biochemical alteration that induced by mercury. However, DMPS has a relative better effect due to its water solubility, less toxicity and its ability to chelate with more metal ions.
