Description and Uses
Dimercaprol (INN) or British anti - Lewisite (abbreviated BAL), is a compound developed by British biochemists at Oxford University during World War II . It was developed secretly as an antidote for lewisite, the now - obsolete arsenic - based chemical warfare agent . Today, it is used medically in treatment of arsenic, mercury , gold, lead, antimony, and other toxic metal poisoning . In addition , it has in the past been used for the treatment of Wilson's disease, a genetic disorder in which the body tends to retain copper.
2,3-Dimercapto-1-propanol has been used in synthesizing novel (2-substituted phenyl-1,3-dithiolan-4-yl) methanol (PDTM) derivatives, which are potent tyrosinase inhibitors. It can also be considered for developing new drugs against AIDS due to its ability to inhibit HIV-1 tat activity.
