In experiments performed on male mice (ICR) the mobilizing effect of monoisoamyl meso-2,3-dimercaptosuccinate (Mi-ADMS) and a dithiocarbamate analogue, N-(4-methylbenzyl)-4-O-(beta-D-galactopyranosyl)-D-glucamine-N-carbod ithioate (MeBLDTC) on the cadmium deposits was studied. The influence of these compounds on the changes in the level of essential elements caused by cadmium was explored. CdCl2.H2O was injected intravenously. The chelators were administered every 48 h over 12 d. Both compounds are effective in mobilizing cadmium from the body in animal experiments. On an equimolar basis MeBLDTC was superior to Mi-ADMS. Mi-ADMS can, however, be administered orally. Both compounds were able to correct, at least partly, the changes in the level of essential elements caused by cadmium.

Copper (Cu) dysregulation, often stemming from ATP7B gene mutations, exacerbates neurological disorders like Huntington's, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's diseases. Monoisoamyl 2,3-dimercaptosuccinic acid (MiADMSA) shows promise in mitigating Cu induced neurotoxicity by chelating intracellular Cu ions, reducing oxidative stress, and restoring antioxidant enzyme function. However, challenges such as poor bioavailability hinder its therapeutic efficacy.

Copper (Cu), being an essential trace metal, plays several roles in biological processes, though exposure to Cu can be potentially toxic to the brain and a few other soft organs. In the present study, we investigated the effects of the combined administration of monoisoamyl 2, 3-dimercaptosuccinic acid (MiADMSA), which is a new chelator, and alpha lipoic acid (ALA) and an antioxidant that is made naturally in the body and is also found in foods, against Cu-induced oxidative stress in rats. Rats were exposed to 20 mg/kg copper sulfate for 16 weeks once a day via the oral route.

Arsenic, a metalloid, is known to cause deleterious effects in various body organs, particularly the liver, urinary bladder, and brain, and these effects are primarily mediated through oxidative stress. Chelation therapy has been considered one of the promising medical treatments for arsenic poisoning. Meso 2,3- dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) has been recognized as one of the most effective chelating drugs to treat arsenic poisoning.

Background: Apart from being an essential heavy metal, Manganese (Mn) serves as an important component of the antioxidant enzyme system in humans. Overexposure to manganese leads to the development of manganism, which is characterized by motor dysfunction along with neurodegeneration. The management of manganism often utilizes chelation therapy.
