Description

General description

Silver diethyldithiocarbamate is used to introduce diethyldithiocarbamato ligand and for the determination of arsenic.

Application

Reagent for the detection of arsenic and for the introduction of the diethyldithiocarbamato ligand.

Silver diethyldithiocarbamate (AgDDC) may be used in the preparation of adducts of triorganophosphines and diphosphines.

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.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Inhibits induction of macrophage nitric oxide synthase.
