| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Hazard]
Toxic by inhalation and ingestion. | [Description]
Cysteamine is a stable aminothiol with radioprotective activities.1 It reduces ionizing radiation-induced death and chromosomal damage in mice in a dose-dependent manner.1,2 Cysteamine binds rapidly and temporarily to plasma proteins upon administration and this activity is directly correlated to its radioprotective effects.2 In vitro, 0.1 mM cysteamine depletes 90% of free cystine from cystinotic fibroblasts.3 Formulations containing cysteamine have been used to treat nephropathic cystinosis and reduce glomerular deterioration in humans.4 | [Chemical Properties]
White Solid | [Uses]
Cysteamine hydrochloride is used as an antioxidant and in radiation therapy.
| [General Description]
Cysteamine is an aminothiol that can reduce important oxidized disulfide molecules such as cystine to yield cysteine. | [Biochem/physiol Actions]
Cysteamine is an aminothiol that can reduce important oxidized disulfide molecules such as cystine to yield cysteine. Cysteamine is used in a wide range of applications from regulation of gene expression, to depletion of somatostatin, to coating of nanoparticles. | [Purification Methods]
Purify the salt by recrystallisation from EtOH. It is freely soluble in H2O and should be stored in a dry atmosphere. [Mills & Bogert J Am Chem Soc 62 1177 1940.] The picrate has m 125-126o; see previous entry for free base. [Beilstein 4 IV 1570.] |
