DL-2,3-Dimercapto-1-propanesulfonic acid sodium salt monohydrate (DMPS) is a water-soluble chelating agent used for the treatment of heavy metal poisoning, particularly for metals like mercury, lead, and arsenic. It works by binding to metal ions, forming stable complexes that are then excreted from the body, typically via urine. DMPS is commonly used in clinical toxicology due to its effectiveness and relatively low toxicity compared to other chelating agents. It is available in both oral and intravenous formulations. Its application helps in reducing metal concentrations in the body, preventing the harmful effects of metal toxicity on organs and tissues.
