Description

D-Cystine bis(methyl ester) dihydrochloride is a polymer that has been shown to be cytotoxic towards tumor cells. It is made of a polymeric backbone, which contains multiple disulfide bonds and imines. The drug has a diameter of approximately 10 nm and can penetrate the tumor tissue, leading to high concentrations in the cancerous area. D-Cystine bis(methyl ester) dihydrochloride’s cytotoxic effects are due to its acidic properties, which cause DNA degradation and apoptosis of cancer cells.
