In vitro effects of mercury-selenium compounds on enzymes
Toxicology Letters
|December 1, 1982
Abstract:
In vitro effects of mercury-selenium compounds, as compared with mercurials, against glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD), catalase and trypsin were studied. Inhibitory potencies of two mercury-selenium (Hg-Se) compounds, bis(methylmercuric) selenide (BMS), and a reaction product of HgCl2, Na2SeO3 and glutathione (GSH), were markedly weaker than those of their original mercurials, methylmercury and mercuric mercury, respectively.
