CAS 60-23-1

Cysteamine

Description:

Cysteamine, with the CAS number 60-23-1, is an organic compound characterized by its amino-thiol structure, featuring both an amine (-NH2) and a thiol (-SH) functional group. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a strong, unpleasant odor. Cysteamine is soluble in water and polar organic solvents, which enhances its utility in various biochemical applications. This compound is primarily known for its role as a reducing agent and is involved in the metabolism of cystine, playing a significant role in the treatment of cystinosis, a genetic disorder that leads to the accumulation of cystine within lysosomes. Additionally, cysteamine has antioxidant properties and is studied for its potential therapeutic effects in various conditions, including neurodegenerative diseases. Due to its reactivity, it can form disulfides and participate in redox reactions, making it valuable in both pharmaceutical and research settings. However, it should be handled with care due to its potential toxicity and irritant properties.

2-Aminoethanethiol

CAS: 60-23-1

2-Aminoethanethiol is a bitartrate salt of cysteamine. It inhibits the growth of bacteria by inhibiting the synthesis of the bacterial cell wall, which is required for bacterial replication and division. 2-Aminoethanethiol has been shown to be effective in experimental models of cystinosis and cystamine. 2-Aminoethanethiol has also been used as an antidote to cyanide poisoning.
