Product Information

• Name: L-Cysteine-glutathione disulfide
• Synonyms: Nereithione
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: L-Cysteine-glutathione disulfide is a prodrug that is hydrolyzed in vivo to L-cysteine and glutathione. It is postulated to have anticoagulant properties, which may be due to its ability to scavenge reactive oxygen species. L-Cysteine-glutathione disulfide has been shown to be expressed at high levels in the coelomic fluid of healthy mice and rats. In mice with tuberculosis, L-Cysteine-glutathione disulfide was found at higher levels than in healthy controls. L-Cysteine-glutathione disulfide has also been shown to have anti-tuberculosis activity and can act as a diagnostic for tuberculosis. L-Cysteine-glutathione disulfide binds to mammalian cells and inhibits the growth of cancer cells by inducing cell cycle arrest, apoptosis, or necrosis. This drug also inhibits acet
