  • Title: Antidotes for acute bismuth intoxication.
    Author: Basinger MA, Jones MM, McCroskey SA.
    Journal: J Toxicol Clin Toxicol; 1983 Apr; 20(2):159-65. PubMed ID: 6887308.
    Abstract:
    Nine chelating agents were tested as antidotes for acute bismuth intoxication in mice. Of these, those with sulfhydryl groups, adjacent aromatic hydroxy groups or appropriately positioned phosphonate groups proved themselves to be effective antidotes. Of the compounds currently approved for therapeutic use, D-penicillamine was the most effective.
