Dithiol

/daɪˈθaɪɑl/ noun

Definition

An organic compound containing two thiol groups (sulfhydryl groups -SH), used in medicine and biochemistry for metal detoxification and protein analysis.

Etymology

From 'di-' (two) + 'thiol' (a compound with -SH group). Named systematically based on chemical structure.

Kelly Says

Dithiols like DMSA are medical superheroes for heavy metal poisoning—they wrap around toxic metals like lead and mercury like molecular handcuffs, allowing your body to excrete them safely.
