Beschreibung

Cystamine dihydrochloride is a cysteamine prodrug that is converted to cysteamine in the body. Cysteamine is an antioxidant that has been shown to be effective in treating oxidative injury and increasing neuronal survival. The oxidation of cysteamine also depends on the presence of calcium, pantothenate, and metal ions such as zinc or copper. This process can be monitored by measuring the rate constant or the concentration of metal ions. Cystamine dihydrochloride is used to treat bowel disease, but it can also be used as a pharmacological agent. It has been shown to have antibacterial properties against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Cystamine dihydrochloride has not yet been found to cause any adverse effects in humans at doses up to 10 g per day.
