• Description: 2-Aminoethanethiol HCl is an organosulfur compound used in the treatment of cystinosis. Cystinosis is a rare autosomal recessive metabolic disorder that leads to the accumulation of cysteine and other amino acids in the lysosomes of cells. 2-Aminoethanethiol HCl is also used for the treatment of enteritidis, a disease caused by infection with bacteria such as Salmonella typhi, Shigella dysenteriae, or Escherichia coli. It has been shown to inhibit protein synthesis in vitro and in experimental models. The mechanism of 2-aminoethanethiol HCl's inhibition may be due to its ability to reduce mitochondrial membrane potential, thereby inhibiting ATP production and inhibiting cellular respiration.2-Aminoethanethiol HCl has been found to be effective against many strains of bacteria that are resistant to standard antibiotics (e
