meso-2,3-Dimercaptosuccinic acid is a heavy metal chelator.{45474} It reverses sodium arsenite-induced inhibition of pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) in mouse kidney homogenates (EC50 = 0.25 mM). meso-2,3-Dimercaptosuccinic acid decreases cisplatin-induced increases in serum levels of platinum and blood urea nitrogen (BUN), as well as apoptosis in renal tubules of mice when administered at a dose of 100 µM/kg.{45475} meso-2,3-Dimercaptosuccinic acid (90 mg/kg) decreases elevations in the activity of catalase and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH) in RBCs from lead-exposed rats, and decreases the levels of lead in the cerebellum, hippocampus, liver, kidney, and blood in rats when administered at a dose of 100 mg/kg.{45476,45477} It decreases immobility time in the forced swim test in lead-exposed male, but not female, mice when administered at a dose of 50 mg/kg.{45478} Formulations containing meso-2,3-dimercaptosuccinic acid have been used in the treatment of heavy metal poisoning.
