Animal experiments have suggested that Puchel, a lipophilic derivative of DTPA may be of use in removing plutonium from humans after an accidental intake. This study reports toxicological findings in mice. After the administration of Puchel, as single or repeated doses of the pentasodium salt, an LD50/ld value of 530 ± 44 mg kg-1 was obtained.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
