“TM, EDTA, PEN , BAL and DDC adminstration increased Cu excretion via bile and urine by 254, 11, 266, 46 and 16%, respectively in Group A sheep, and by 354, 13, 196, 20 and (-) 31% in Group B sheep.”
“ D-penicillamine was shown to increase rat hepatic metallothionein levels; however, the effect was dependent on an interaction with copper.”
“This interaction of penicillamine and copper also provoked changes in the distribution of zinc and in particular an increase in the heat-stable cytosol zinc fraction.”

“ Penicillamine , another agent associated with neutropenia and, like captopril, having a reactive thiol group, also inhibited colony formation in the presence of copper.”

“The key strategy of treatment is to reduce the amount of copper in the liver and other tissues by administering both copper-chelating agents, such as D-penicillamine or Trientine, and/or zinc acetate.”

“Fluorescence enhancement efficiency of Cu NCs induced by d-PA was linear, with the d-PA concentration varying from 0.6-30 μg ml-1 (R2 = 0.9952) and with a detection limit of 0.54 μg ml-1 .”
“Cell cytotoxicity resulting from the incubation of D-penicillamine with copper was compared to that of D-penicillamine, copper and hydrogen peroxide.”

“ D-Penicillamine (D-pen), a copper-chelating agent, at low concentrations in the presence of copper generates concentration-dependent cytotoxic hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)).”
“ D-pen in the presence of copper also resulted in a reduction in intracellular reduced thiol levels.”
