Cysteamine affects skeletal development and impairs motor behavior in zebrafish
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

Background We have shown previously that low‐density lipoprotein (LDL) can be oxidized in the lysosomes of macrophages, that this oxidation can be inhibited by cysteamine, an antioxidant that accumulates in lysosomes, and that this drug decreases ...

Cysteamine exerts in vitro antiviral activity against the SARS-CoV-2 Delta and Omicron variants
The novel SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern (VOC) represent a considerable global alarm because their mutations are known to affect transmissibility and cause immune escape.

Effects of Coated Cysteamine on Oxidative Stress and Inflammation in Weaned Pigs
This study aimed to explore the effects of dietary coated cysteamine on oxidative stress and inflammation in diquat-induced weaning pigs. Twenty-four pigs were randomly assigned to three dietary groups with eight replicates: the control (fed base diet ...

Challenges for cysteamine stabilization, quantification, and biological effects improvement
The aminothiol cysteamine, derived from coenzyme A degradation in mammalian cells, presents several biological applications. However, the bitter taste and sickening odor, chemical instability, hygroscopicity, and poor pharmacokinetic profile of ...

Cysteamine Inhibits Glycine Utilisation and Disrupts Virulence in Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a major opportunistic human pathogen which employs a myriad of virulence factors. In people with cystic fibrosis (CF) P. aeruginosa frequently colonises the lungs and becomes a chronic infection that evolves to become less ...

Background Cysteamine was coated to cover its odor and maintain the stability. However, coated cysteamine (CC) has not been clearly evaluated for its effects on the gastrointestinal mucosa status. We hypothesize that the appropriate CC supplementation in

Enteric-Coated Cysteamine Bitartrate in Cystinosis Patients
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
