Dimercaprol is a medication used to treat toxic exposure to arsenic, mercury, gold, and lead. It is in the chelating class of drugs. Hence used for metal poisoning.
Dimercaprol having a greater affinity for the metal than does the protein and reverses the enzyme inhibition by chelating the metal and prevents or reverses its toxic effects by regeneration of free sulphhydryl groups. The resulting dimercaprol-metal complex is relatively stable and rapidly excreted.
