British Anti-Lewisite (Dimercaprol) Class
Dithiol
2,3-dimercaptosuccinic acid (Succimer) Class
Dithiol
British Anti-Lewisite (Dimercaprol) MOA
Forms stable chelate via electron pair donation and coordination with metal ion; solubilized in peanut oil
2,3-dimercaptosuccinic acid (Succimer) MOA
Coordinate bonding to sulfur (arsenic and mercury) or sulfur and oxygen (lead and cadmium)
Edetate calcium disodium (EDTA) MOA
Displacement of calcium by lead
Ferric hexacyanoferrate /Prussian Blue (Radiogardase) MOA
Stays in gut and not absorbed until it grabs metal; goes into gut and is excreted that way
Deferoxamine (Desferal) MOA
Chelates free iron and iron transported between transferrin and ferritin
