| Cystamine dihydrochloride Usage And Synthesis |
Chemical Properties | white powder | Uses | sulfhydryl modifying reagent and heparin antagonist | Uses | hepatoprotectant, t-glutaminase inhibitor, heat shock protein promoter, caspase inhibitor | Uses | Cystamine dihydrochloride acts as an anti-infective agent, which is used in the treatment of urinary tract infections. It is also used as a radiation-protective agent that interferes with sulfhydryl enzymes. Further, it serves as a heparin antagonist and sulfhydryl modifying reagent. In addition to this, it is used as an inhibitor of TGase. | Safety Profile | A poison by
subcutaneous and intraperitoneal routes.
Experimental reproductive effects. When
heated to decomposition it emits very toxic
fumes of HCl, SOx, and NOx. See also
