- Product Overview:
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.
Cayman Chemical’s mission is to help make research possible by supplying scientists worldwide with the basic research tools necessary for advancing human and animal health. Our utmost commitment to healthcare researchers is to offer the highest quality products with an affordable pricing policy.
Our scientists are experts in the synthesis, purification, and characterization of biochemicals ranging from small drug-like heterocycles to complex biolipids, fatty acids, and many others. We are also highly skilled in all aspects of assay and antibody development, protein expression, crystallization, and structure determination.
Over the past thirty years, Cayman developed a deep knowledge base in lipid biochemistry, including research involving the arachidonic acid cascade, inositol phosphates, and cannabinoids. This knowledge enabled the production of reagents of exceptional quality for cancer, oxidative injury, epigenetics, neuroscience, inflammation, metabolism, and many additional lines of research.
Our organic and analytical chemists specialize in the rapid development of manufacturing processes and analytical methods to carry out clinical and commercial GMP-API production. Pre-clinical drug discovery efforts are currently underway in the areas of bone restoration and repair, muscular dystrophy, oncology, and inflammation. A separate group of Ph.D.-level scientists are dedicated to offering Hit-to-Lead Discovery and Profiling Services for epigenetic targets. Our knowledgeable chemists can be contracted to perform complete sample analysis for analytes measured by the majority of our assays. We also offer a wide range of analytical services using LC-MS/MS, HPLC, GC, and many other techniques.
