Product Information

• Name: D-Penicillamine
• Synonyms: 3-Mercapto-D-valine(2S)-2-Amino-3-methyl-3-sulfanylbutanoic acid(S)-3,3-DimethylcysteineH-D-Pen-OH
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: D-Penicillamine is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug that is used to treat bowel disease, including ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. It has also been used as a treatment for schizophrenia that is unresponsive to other treatments. D-Penicillamine binds covalently to reactive oxygen species (ROS), thereby preventing their interaction with proteins and DNA. The binding of ROS by D-penicillamine can be monitored using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The compound has also been shown to reduce the expression of bcl-2 protein in human cells, which may result in increased oxidative injury and rates of cell proliferation. D-Penicillamine has been shown to have therapeutic benefits for patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis, myocardial infarcts, or preparative high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis.
