Product Information
- D-Penicillamine (S-p-Methylbenzyl-D-Penicillamine)
As a metabolite of penicillin and a di-methly analog of cysteine, D-Penicillamine (D-Pen) has properties as a heavy metal chelator. In particular, D-Pen forms complexes with thiol groups of copper ions and so can help regulate conditions such as Wilson’s disease, contributing to the renal excretion of copper. Studies have suggested that D-Pen could be used in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease due to a reduced activity of copper and zinc superoxide dismutases in the blood of Alzheimer’s disease patients. It can further be used to treat copper and lead poisoning cases. Although D-Pen is clinically relevant, it is important to distinguish it from its enantiomer L-Pen which has been found to be toxic and can result in neuritis and marrow damage.
