Development of New Oral Drug for Treating Chronic Mercury Exposure | Wassana Yantasee, PhD, MBA
IAOMT Annual Conference in Stowe, VT
September 8, 2018
Learning Objectives:
1. Discuss how the oral drug for chelating mercury was developed and screened
from various candidates.
2. Review how the lead material (SH-SAMMS) has desirable characteristics for GI
tract capture of mercury.
3.  Discuss how SH-SAMMS prevents accessibility of gut bacteria to mercury,
hence preventing bacterial conversion of mercury to a more absorbable form and
limiting mercury toxicity to gut bacteria.
