Effect of Cystamine on Sperm and Antioxidant Parameters of Ram Semen Stored at 4 °C for 50 Hours [PDF]

Archives of Razi Institute, 2021
Physical and chemical changes caused by oxidative stress in the spermatozoa membrane can reduce spermatozoa function and even lead to death. Cystamine (NH2-CH2-CH2-SH, β-mercaptoethylamine) is a natural substance that modulates the endocrine and ...

Enteric-Coated Cysteamine Bitartrate in Cystinosis Patients

Pharmaceutics, 2023
Cystinosis is a severe inherited metabolic storage disease caused by the lysosomal accumulation of cystine. Lifelong therapy with the drug cysteamine bitartrate is necessary. Cysteamine cleaves intralysosomal cystine, and thereafter, it can exit from the

Inhibition of Low-Density Lipoprotein Oxidation by Cysteamine, Cystamine, Cysteine and Cystine at Lysosomal pH and pH 7.4 [PDF]

Antioxidants
LDL can be oxidised in the lysosomes of macrophages. Cysteamine, a thiol antioxidant that accumulates in lysosomes, inhibits the oxidation of LDL by iron at lysosomal pH (pH 4.5) and protects against atherosclerosis in mice.

A Review on Biomedical, Biomolecular, and Environmental Monitoring Applications of Cysteamine Functionalized Nanomaterials [PDF]

Micromachines
Functionalizing agents enhance the photophysical properties of nanomaterials, thereby broadening their applications. Among these agents, cysteamine (SH-(CH2)2-NH2) is unique because of its free thiol (-SH) and amino (-NH2) groups.

Cysteamine affects skeletal development and impairs motor behavior in zebrafish

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2022
Cysteamine is a kind of feed additive commonly used in agricultural production. It is also the only targeted agent for the treatment of cystinosis, and there are some side effects in clinical applications. However, the potential skeletal toxicity remains

Cysteamine suppresses invasion, metastasis and prolongs survival by inhibiting matrix metalloproteinases in a mouse model of human pancreatic cancer. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
BACKGROUND: Cysteamine, an anti-oxidant aminothiol, is the treatment of choice for nephropathic cystinosis, a rare lysosomal storage disease. Cysteamine is a chemo-sensitization and radioprotection agent and its antitumor effects have been investigated ...

The cytotoxic effect of cysteamine and its combinations with various endodontic intracanal medications on fibroblast cells: in vitro study

Bulletin of the National Research Centre, 2023
Background This study was established to assess cysteamine’s cytotoxic effect alone and in combination with various intracanal medications on fibroblast cells, because the biocompatibility of intracanal medication is considered one of the main factors ...
