Product Information
Name:L-Penicillamine
Synonyms:
- H-Pen-OH
Brand:Biosynth
Description:L-Penicillamine is a drug that is used to treat Wilson's disease and other types of copper poisoning. It binds to copper ions in the body, preventing them from being absorbed by tissues. L-Penicillamine also has an inhibitory effect on mesenteric lymph nodes and prevents the release of inflammatory mediators. This drug was shown to have a chemical stability of more than 24 hours in human serum at pH 7.4 and 37°C, as well as an enantiomeric purity of 99%. The main metabolic pathway for L-penicillamine is hydrolysis by the action of enzymes that contain metal-binding groups such as cysteine or lysine residues, although some metabolism may occur via esterases. One example is streptococcus faecalis, which can produce pencillinase that hydrolyzes penicillin derivatives with a carbonyl group, like L-penicillamine.
