Description

L-Cysteine hydrochloride anhydrous is an amino acid that is used in the treatment of bowel disease. It is also a precursor for glutathione, which has antioxidant properties and helps maintain iron homeostasis. L-Cysteine hydrochloride anhydrous has been shown to inhibit the oxidation of proteins by reacting with reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as nitric oxide, superoxide, and hydrogen peroxide. This amino acid also interacts with toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), which may account for its natural anti-inflammatory properties. L-Cysteine hydrochloride anhydrous can be synthesized from cysteine and glutamic acid using a CDNA clone encoding the enzyme cystathionine β-synthase. The synthesis of this amino acid requires a number of biochemical reactions including hydrogen bonding interactions with inhibitor molecules such as dihydrofolate reductase, metalloproteases, and thiored
