Description

S-trityl-L-cysteine is a chemical compound that is used in the identification of potential drug targets. It is an inhibitor of sirtuin 2, which is involved in apoptosis pathway. S-trityl-L-cysteine has shown inhibition of prostate cancer cells and human osteosarcoma cells with DNA binding activity. S-trityl-L-cysteine also has the potential to induce caspase independent cell death, which may be due to its effect on pluripotent cells. Furthermore, it has been shown to inhibit mitochondrial membrane potential and inhibit binding to ATPase and DNA gyrase enzymes. This compound is not found in animals; it is synthesized from trifluoroacetic acid and L-cysteine with the help of sodium citrate as a catalyst.
