Cysteamine HCl
Cysteamine HCl (CAS 156-57-0) is an antioxidant and a drug used to treat cystinosis. It reduces intracellular cystine levels and promotes cystine export from lysosomes by cleaving the disulfide bond of cystine and forming mixed disulfides. Subcutaneous or intragastric administration specifically depletes somatostatin and induces duodenal ulcers in rats, making it the recognized gold-standard agent for duodenal ulcer modeling. The compound is used for the treatment of cystinosis and lysosomal storage disorders, as well as for oxidative-stress-related models and cystine metabolic pathway analysis, and shows antioxidant activity in vitro.
