    Product Description

    Cysteamine-d4 is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of cysteamine (hydrochloride) (Item No. 22193) by GC- or LC-MS. Cysteamine is a stable aminothiol with radioprotective activities.1 It reduces ionizing radiation-induced death and chromosomal damage in mice in a dose-dependent manner.1,2 Cysteamine binds rapidly and temporarily to plasma proteins upon administration and this activity is directly correlated to its radioprotective effects.2 In vitro, 0.1 mM cysteamine depletes 90% of free cystine from cystinotic fibroblasts.3 Formulations containing cysteamine have been used to treat nephropathic cystinosis and reduce glomerular deterioration in humans.

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
