Both disodium pyrophosphate and disodium ethane-hydroxy-1, 1-diphosphate inhibit the reaction of simple calcergy induced in the mouse by lead acetate. The pyrophosphate is effective only by a direct interaction with the lead salt and the disphosphonate is effective only before the occurrence of histochemically demonstrable calcification.
