Mechanism
The metals react with thiol (-SH) or amine
(-NH(1,2,3)) groups of proteins, a mode of
action to which microorganisms may
develop resistance. Such resistance may
be transmitted by plasmids.[2]
Use
Aluminium …
Antimony …
Orthoesters of diarylstibinic acids are
fungicides and bactericides, used in
paints, plastics, and fibers.[4] Trivalent
organic antimony was used in therapy for
schistosomiasis.[5]
Arsenic …
Bismuth …
Copper …
Gold …
Mercury …
Nickel …
Thallium …
Zinc …
Zinc oxide is used as a weak antiseptic
(and sunscreen), and in paints as a white
pigment and mold-growth inhibitor.[24] Zinc
chloride is a common ingredient in
mouthwashes and deodorants, and zinc
pyrithione is an ingredient in antidandruff
shampoos. Galvanized (zinc-coated)
fittings on roofs impede the growth of
algae. Copper- and zinc-treated shingles
are available.[13] Zinc iodide and zinc
sulfate are used as topical antiseptics.[25]
Safety
Besides the individual toxic effects of each
metal, a wide range of metals are
nephrotoxic in humans and/or in
animals.[26] Some metals and their
compounds are carcinogenic to humans.
A few metals, such as lead and mercury,
can cross the placental barrier and
adversely affect fetal development.[27]
Several (cadmium, zinc, copper, and
mercury) can induce special protein
complexes called metallothioneins.[28]
