MiADMSA (Monoisoamyl meso-2,3-dimercaptosuccinic acid) is an orally active thiol chelator that can effectively remove heavy metals such as arsenic and lead from the body of animals. Arsenic binds with two vicinal sulfhydryl groups available in MiADMSA leading to marked reduction in body arsenic burden and also marked reduction in various oxidative stress parameters and antioxidant enzymes like- ROS, nitrite, TBARS, GSH, SOD and catalase. MiADMSA attenuates urinary bladder carcinogenesis, protects against oxidative stress, ameliorates copper-induced histopathology, reverses neurotoxicity, and is safe in animals. MiADMSA can be used in studies of bladder cancer, arsenic, and lead-induced developmental neurotoxicity [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6].
In Vivo, MiADMSA (50 mg/kg; p.o.; 5 consecutive days per course for 3 courses with 1-week gaps between courses) reduces arsenic-induced bladder carcinogenesis in male Sprague-Dawley rats exposed to sodium arsenite or Dimethylarsinic acid (DMA)[1]. MiADMSA (50 mg/kg; p.o.; 5 days a week; for 4 weeks) reverses most arsenic-induced neurotoxic effects in male Wistar rats (arsenic-exposed)[2]. MiADMSA (50-100 mg/kg; oral or i.p.; once daily; 5 days) reverses chronic arsenic toxicity in male Wistar rats (80-90 g) challenged with arsenic (with a body arsenic burden reduction of 75% for 50 mg/kg oral)[3]. MiADMSA (75 mg/kg; orally; two courses of 5 days each with a 7-day rest period between courses) abrogates chronic copper-induced hepatic and immunological changes in male Sprague-Dawley rats (chronic copper sulfate exposure)[4]. MiADMSA (25-100 mg/kg; i.p.; daily; 7 days) modulates antioxidant and prooxidant markers and affects essential metal levels in male Wistar rats (young, adult, old)[5]. MiADMSA (50 mg/kg; orally via gavage; once daily; 3 consecutive days) mitigates arsenic- and lead-induced oxidative stress and apoptotic markers in Wistar rats (male pups from exposed pregnant rats challenged with sodium meta-arsenite and/or lead acetate)[6].
In Vitro, MiADMSA (50-200 nM; 6 h pre-incubation, 24 h exposure, repeated 7 days) reverses increased cell viability induced by 100 nM sodium arsenite or DMA in NBT-II and T-24 cells[1]. MiADMSA (100 nM; 7 days) reduces arsenic/DMA-induced oxidative stress by lowering ROS and restoring GSH in NBT-II and T-24 cells[1]. MiADMSA (100 nM; 7 days) reduces pro-oncogenic biomarker (MMP-9, survivin) levels induced by 100 nM sodium arsenite or DMA in NBT-II and T-24 cells[1]. MiADMSA (100 nM; 7 days) reduces the increased clonogenic potential and cell migration induced by 100 nM sodium arsenite or DMA in NBT-II cells[1].
