23-disulfanylbutanedioic acid

meso-23-Dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) has been used to form a monolayer on MgTiAu micromotors to enhance the chelation of toxic heavy metal contaminants (Zn(II) Cd(II) and Pb(II)) from polluted aqueous solutions. It can be used As a reducing and stabilizing agent to synthesize monolayer-protected gold clusters For terminal carboxylation of the oleylamine coated Fe3O4 nanoparticles to develop targeted curcumin drug delivery system

For R&D use onlynot for drug household or other uses.

Dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) also called succimer is the organosulfur compound with the formula HO2CCH(SH)CH(SH)CO2H. This colorless solid contains two carboxylic acid and two thiol groups the latter being responsible for its mildly unpleasant odour. It occurs in two diastereomers meso and the chiral dl forms. The meso isomer is used as a chelating agent for treatment of heavy metal toxicity and is a water-soluble and non-toxic substance. When radiolabeled with technetium-99m it helps in diagnostic testing of renal function.
