Product Information
- L-Cystine, radical ion(1+), dihydrochloride
L-Cystine dihydrochloride is a white crystalline powder that is used to treat acute radiation syndrome. It is an amino acid that contains two cysteine residues linked by a disulfide bond. Cysteine is necessary for the formation of proteins and peptides, which are important in antibody production. L-Cystine dihydrochloride has been shown to increase the uptake of radioactive substances in cells. This drug also increases the amount of bioactive molecules such as glutathione, which protects cells from oxidative damage caused by radiation. The effects of L-cystine dihydrochloride are dose dependent, with higher doses leading to greater cellular death.
The unpaired cysteines in L-cystine dihydrochloride can react with each other, forming a new molecule called S-thiolactone. This reaction is catalyzed by porcine pancreatic lipase (PPLL), a membrane protein found in pancreat
