Abstract

Abstract Dihydroasparagusic acid is the first naturally occurring dimercaptanic compound that was isolated in 1948 from Asparagus concentrate. Although several synthetic procedures were proposed in the past decades for this natural substance, most of its chemical properties remain unstudied. In this work the capacity of the acid to act as an antidote against mercury (II) toxicity was evaluated in a simple biological model system, ...
