DL-Homocystine, specifically the isotopically labeled variant 3,3,3',3',4,4,4',4'-D8, is a sulfur-containing amino acid derivative that plays a significant role in various biochemical processes, particularly in the metabolism of homocysteine. This compound is characterized by the presence of two homocysteine molecules linked by a disulfide bond, which is crucial for its biological activity. The "DL" designation indicates that it exists as a racemic mixture of both D- and L-forms, which can have different biological effects. The isotopic labeling with deuterium (D8) allows for enhanced tracking and analysis in metabolic studies, particularly in mass spectrometry applications. Homocystine is involved in the synthesis of cysteine and is important for maintaining proper levels of homocysteine in the body, as elevated levels are associated with cardiovascular diseases. Its solubility in water and stability under physiological conditions make it a valuable compound for research in biochemistry and medicine.

<p>Applications Labelled DL-Homocystine is used in the synthesis of potential antitumor agents through inhibition of L-asparagine. There is growing clinical evidence that elevated homocysteine levels are associated with an increased risk of venous and arterial thrombosis.<br>References Brynes, S. et al.: J. Pharm.
