Product Description
Emeramide is a thiol redox antioxidant and heavy metal chelator.
Emeramide (BDTH2, N,N'-bis(2-mercaptoethyl)isophthalamide) is a thiol redox antioxidant and heavy metal chelator. It has the molecular formula C12H16N2O2S2 and molecular weight of 284.40. Emeramide is a benzolamide derivative whose intramolecular amide and mercaptan groups can chelate metals. It can be used to chelate lead, copper, manganese, mercury, and other heavy metals. The compound has also been designated with the INN (International Nonproprietary Name) Emeramide.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Heavy metal ions (mercury, lead, copper, manganese). Emeramide is a heavy metal chelator and thiol redox antioxidant. It binds to heavy metals through its thiol (mercaptan) groups, forming stable complexes that facilitate the excretion of these metals from the body. The compound also exhibits antioxidant properties through its thiol redox activity.
ln Vitro
Emeramide has been shown to prevent methylmercury-induced glutathione (GSH) loss and cytotoxicity. As a thiol redox antioxidant, it can scavenge reactive oxygen species and protect cells from oxidative damage. In vitro studies demonstrate that Emeramide can chelate various heavy metals including mercury, lead, copper, and manganese, reducing their bioavailability and toxicity.
ln Vivo
In vivo studies of Emeramide are limited. As a heavy metal chelator, the compound has potential applications in treating heavy metal poisoning and reducing heavy metal burden in the body. Its antioxidant properties may also provide benefits in conditions associated with oxidative stress. However, comprehensive in vivo efficacy and safety data are not widely available in the public literature.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro chelation assays for Emeramide typically involve incubating the compound with various metal ions (e.g., Hg2+, Pb2+, Cu2+, Mn2+) in buffered solutions. The formation of metal-Emeramide complexes is monitored using UV-Vis spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, or mass spectrometry. Competitive binding studies may be performed using metal-specific indicators or chelators. The stoichiometry and stability constants of metal complexes are determined.
Cell Assay
Cellular assays for Emeramide are performed using various cell lines exposed to heavy metal toxicity. Cells are pre-treated or co-treated with Emeramide and heavy metals (e.g., methylmercury), and cell viability is assessed using MTT, LDH release, or other viability assays. Intracellular glutathione levels are measured to assess the compound's antioxidant effects. Cellular metal content can be analyzed by ICP-MS to evaluate chelation efficacy.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies for Emeramide would typically involve rodent models of heavy metal poisoning. Animals would be exposed to heavy metals (e.g., mercury, lead) followed by administration of Emeramide via oral or intraperitoneal routes. Metal levels in blood, tissues, and excreta would be measured to assess chelation efficacy. Clinical signs, body weight, and organ histopathology would be evaluated to assess toxicity and therapeutic effects.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Emeramide has a molecular weight of 284.40 and molecular formula C12H16N2O2S2. It is soluble in DMSO (~100 mg/mL) and has low aqueous solubility (~1 mg/mL). The compound should be stored as powder at -20°C for 3 years or at 4°C for 2 years. In solvent, it is stable at -80°C for 6 months or at -20°C for 1 month. The compound is not stable in solution and should be freshly prepared.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Emeramide is generally considered to have low toxicity based on its use as a heavy metal chelator. However, comprehensive toxicological data are limited. The compound contains thiol groups, which can have biological effects. Standard laboratory safety precautions should be followed when handling Emeramide. As with all chelating agents, potential mineral depletion should be considered.

Biological Data
  • N,N′-bis(2-Mercaptoethyl)isopthalamide (NBMI) attenuates the mercury-induced phospholipase D (PLD) activation in a dose-dependent fashion in mouse aortic endothelial cells (MAECs). The MAECs (5 × 105 cells/35 mm dish) were labeled with [32P]orthophosphate in phosphate-free Dulbecco-modified Eagle medium (DMEM) for 12 hours. Following [32P]orthophosphate labeling, MAECs were treated with minimal essential medium (MEM) alone or MEM containing different concentrations (5, 10, and 25 μmol/L) of mercury(II) chloride, methylmercury, and thimerosal for 1 hour (A) in the presence of 0.05% (volume/volume [vol/vol]) 1-butanol. The MAECs were also labeled with [32P]orthophosphate, then pretreated with MEM or different concentrations of MEM containing NBMI (10, 25, and 50 μmol/L) for 1 hour, then treated with mercury(II) chloride (25 μmol/L) (B); methylmercury (10 μmol/L) (C); and thimerosal (25 μmol/L); (D), for 1 hour in the presence of 0.05% (vol/vol) 1-butanol. At the end of the incubation period, [32P] PBt formed was determined. Data represent mean ± standard deviation (SD) calculated from 3 independent experiments. *Significantly different at P < .05 as compared to cells treated with MEM alone. **Significantly different at P < .05 as compared to cells treated with MEM containing mercury alone.
