Increase of renal excretion of organo-mercury compounds like methlymercury by DMPS (2,3-Dimercapto-1-propanesulfonic acid, Dimaval).
TL;DR: It was concluded that DMPS increases the renal excretion of organic bound Hg as it does for inorganic Hg, but to a lesser extent.

Mercury Poisoning and Its Potential Impact on Hormone Regulation and Aging: Preliminary Clinical Observations Using a New Therapeutic Approach
TL;DR: The important clinical connection between hormone dysregulation and mercury toxicity is reviewed and suggestions for diagnosis and treatment are offered.
Potential mechanisms of heavy metals induced nephrotoxicity
TL;DR: This review summarizes the possible diverse mechanisms of nephrotoxicity induced by heavy metals emphasizing on the involvement of signalling pathways by metal-induced generation of reactive oxygen species and oxidative stress generation in cancer progression.

Dmsa and dmps-water soluble antidotes for heavy metal poisoning
TL;DR: This article reviews the pharmacological properties and the uses of two important antidotes for heavy metal poisoning, DMSA and DMPS, water soluble chemical analogs of dimercaprol, which have less toxicity, greater water solubility, and lim ited lipid solubilities, and are effective when given orally.
