Toxicity

" Of all tested reagents, organic mercury compounds arose as the most toxic reagents."( Hepatotoxic effects of SH-reagents in human and rat hepatocyte cultures and in situ perfused rat livers.

Dosage Studied

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" This view is supported by the following facts: (a) mersalyl acted with a similar dose-response curve upon an intact as well as a detergent-dispersed cyclase preparation while no effect was observed upon a solubilized Mg2+-ATPase preparation; (b) a covalent p-chloromercuribenzoate-Sephadex preparation (but not its supernatant) inhibited the cyclase from intact membranes."( Adenylate cyclase from rat-liver plasma membrane: inhibition by mersalyl and other mercurial derivatives.

" Compared with probenecid, thimerosal and mercaptide V yielded dose-response curves of steeper slope and higher maximal effect."( Effects of analogs of salicylate on p-aminohippurate uptake into basal-lateral membranous vesicles.
