Description

H-Cys(Me)-OH is an organosulfur compound that contains a sulfhydryl group. It is used as a model system for the study of the p2 group of compounds in nitrogen chemistry and enzyme activity. H-Cys(Me)-OH has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties, which may be due to its ability to inhibit prostaglandin synthesis. The compound also exhibits carcinogenic potential, as it induces mitochondrial membrane depolarization and kidney bean necrosis in rats when administered at high doses.
