Description

L-Cysteic acid is an organic compound that is structurally related to cysteine. It has been shown in vitro to inhibit the proliferation of leukemic cells, and to be effective at concentrations of 1 mM. L-Cysteic acid has also been shown to inhibit glutamate excretion in mice with metabolic disorders. The optimum concentration for L-Cysteic acid is not known, but it has been shown that injection solutions containing this drug are stable for up to 3 days at room temperature. L-Cysteic acid binds DNA by hydrogen bonding interactions and amide groups, which prevents the binding of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and guanine nucleotide-binding proteins. This drug also inhibits the activity of certain receptors involved in cell proliferation.
