The action of British anti-lewisite (BAL) on enzyme systems.

Clinical Uses of 2,3-dimercaptopropanol (bal). X. the Treatment of Acute Systemic Mercury Poisoning in Experimental Animals with Bal, Thiosorbitol and Bal Glucoside.

Although chemical agents were not employed as offensive weapons during the past war, nevertheless it was imperative to pursue vigorously investigations on the treatment of chemical warfare casualties. Inasmuch as a number of chemical warfare agents contain arsenic, attention was focused on the synthesis of compounds capable of antagonizing the local and systemic effects of arsenical vesicants. ...

Clinical Uses of 2,3-dimercaptopropanol (bal). Vii. the Treatment of Arsenical Dermatitis with Preparations of Bal.

The development of 2,3-dimercaptopropanol (British Anti-Lewisite, BAL) by Peters, Stocken, and Thompson (1) has made available a potent antidote for arsenical poisoning. Study of the chemical combination of arsenic with sensitive enzymes and cells indicated that the arsenic could, under certain circumstances, be removed from the cells, and that enzymes could be reactivated by the action of BAL ...

The fate of arsenical vesicants in the skin and the effect of BAL (British anti-lewisite).

Hypersensitivity to Mercuhydrin

Specific hypersensitivity to the mercurial component of meralluride sodium was induced by a series of intramuscular injections in 12 patients who were being treated for congestive heart failure. Reactions were characterized by fever and systemic symptoms and were precipitated in hypersentitive patients by minute amounts of the drug. No untoward effects resulted from administration of full thera...
