Application

Also used for colorimetric determination of small quantities of arsenic

Spin trap used in conjunction with Fe²⁺ to detect NO in brain, kidney, liver, and other tissues. Simultaneous direct measurement of NO* and pO₂ has been reported. A copper chelator, it has been used to quantitate copper in biological materials by ESR and is an inhibitor of superoxide dismutase, ascorbate oxidase, and other enzymes.

Silver diethyldithiocarbamate may be used in the following studies:Quantitative estimation of inorganic As(III) by spectrophotometric method.As a colorimetric reagent for the characterization and quantification of arsenic in aqueous samples.As a precursor for the synthesis of Ag₂S-graphene nanocomposite.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Inhibits induction of macrophage nitric oxide synthase.
