CAS 1953-02-2: Tiopronin
Description:Tiopronin, with the CAS number 1953-02-2, is a synthetic thiol compound primarily used as a medication for the treatment of cystinuria, a genetic disorder that leads to the formation of cystine stones in the kidneys. It acts as a cystine-binding agent, promoting the solubility of cystine in urine and thereby reducing stone formation. Tiopronin is characterized by its ability to form mixed disulfides with cysteine, which enhances the excretion of cystine. The compound is typically administered orally and is known for its relatively low toxicity profile. In addition to its therapeutic uses, tiopronin has been studied for its potential antioxidant properties due to the presence of the thiol group, which can scavenge free radicals. Its chemical structure includes a thiol functional group, contributing to its reactivity and biological activity. Overall, tiopronin is an important agent in managing cystinuria and has implications in broader biochemical research related to thiol chemistry.
