For treatment of Wilson's disease, cystinuria and active rheumatoid arthritis.
FDA Label
Penicillamine is a chelating agent used in the treatment of Wilson's disease. It is also used to reduce cystine excretion in cystinuria and to treat patients with severe, active rheumatoid arthritis unresponsive to conventional therapy. Penicillamine is used as a form of immunosuppression to treat rheumatoid arthritis. Penicillamine inhibits macrophages, decreases IL-1 and the number of T-lymphocytes, and prevents collagen cross linkage. In Wilson's disease it binds copper, allowing it to be eliminated in the urine.
Antidotes

Chelating Agents
Chemicals that bind to and remove ions from solutions. Many chelating agents function through the formation of COORDINATION COMPLEXES with METALS. (See all compounds classified as Chelating Agents.)
Antirheumatic Agents
Drugs that are used to treat RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS. (See all compounds classified as Antirheumatic Agents.)

The effects of chelating agents (citric acid, tartaric acid, penicillamine and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) and cysteine on the absorption of mercuric chloride were investigated in rats. Perfusion of the small intestine showed that the chelating agents and cysteine decreased the absorption of mercuric chloride depending on their stability of constants wtih Hg2+, under the predominant conditions of water absorption and secretion. The difference in absorption of mercuric chloride between both conditions was inversely correlated with their logarithmic stability constant values. These agents decreased the transport of mercuric chloride through the everted intestinal wall and the uptake of mercuric chloride by the intestinal brush border membrane in a similar manner. From these results, it is suggested that the chelating agents and cysteine decrease the absorption of mercuric chloride through the pores of the brush border membrane due to th solvent drag effect.

The transformation of D-penicillamine was studied in orally and iv dosed rats and in human plasma in vitro. In each case, low molecular weight metabolites (previously identified as disulfides) and a mixed disulfide between D-penicillamine and albumin (D-penicillamine-protein) formed. The rates of D-penicillamine elimination, other than through protein conjugation, were comparable in the rat groups to the rate of oxidation to low molecula weight metabolites in vitro. The rates of transformation to D-penicillamine protein were also comparable in the in vitro preparations and in orally treated rats. These qualitative and quantitative similarities suggest blood plasma may be an important site of transformation in vivo. Extracellular oxidation of D-penicillamine may be linked to its antirheumatic action, either through reduction of oxygen species or through formation of D-penicillamine protein disulfides at surfaces of mononuclear leukocytes.

Penicillamine is a chelating agent recommended for the removal of excess copper in patients with Wilson's disease. From in vitro studies which indicate that one atom of copper combines with two molecules of penicillamine. Penicillamine also reduces excess cystine excretion in cystinuria. This is done, at least in part, by disulfide interchange between penicillamine and cystine, resulting in formation of penicillamine-cysteine disulfide, a substance that is much more soluble than cystine and is excreted readily. Penicillamine interferes with the formation of cross-links between tropocollagen molecules and cleaves them when newly formed. The mechanism of action of penicillamine in rheumatoid arthritis is unknown although it appears to suppress disease activity. Unlike cytotoxic immunosuppressants, penicillamine markedly lowers IgM rheumatoid factor but produces no significant depression in absolute levels of serum immunoglobulins. Also unlike cytotoxic immunosuppressants which act on both, penicillamine in vitro depresses T-cell activity but not B-cell activity.
The rationale for ... use in cyctinuria is that penicillamine forms a relatively soluble disulfide compound with cysteine through a disulfide interchange mechanism and thereby decr the formation of cystine containing renal stones.
Gilman, A.G., T.W. Rall, A.S. Nies and P. Taylor (eds.). Goodman and Gilman's The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics. 8th ed. New York, NY. Pergamon Press, 1990., p. 1610
Penicillamine chelates mercury, lead, copper, iron, and probably other heavy metals to form stable, soluble complexes that are readily excreted in the urine.

The mechanism of action of penicillamine in rheumatoid arthritis is not known, but may involve improvement of lymphocyte function. It markedly reduces IgM rheumatoid factor and immune complexes in serum and synovial fluid, but does not significantly lower absolute concentrations of serum immunoglobulins. In vitro, penicillamine depresses T-cell but not B-cell activity. However, the relationship of these effects to the activity of penicillamine in rheumatoid arthritis is not known.
US Pharmacopeial Convention; US Pharmacopeia Dispensing Information (USP DI); Drug Information for the Health Care Professional 12th ed, V.I p.2158 (1992)
Antiurolithic (cystine calculi) Penicillamine combines chemically with cystine (cysteine-cysteine disulfide) to form penicillamine cysteine disulfide, which is more soluble than cystine and is readily excreted. As a result, urinary cystine concentrations are lowered and the formation of cystine calculi is prevented. With prolonged treatment, existing cystine calculi may be gradually dissolved.
