Application
Cysteamine is suitable for use:
- in the preparation of cysteamine modified gold nanoparticles (AuNP)
- in the fabrication of SU-8 microrods, where in, the amine group of cysteamine reacts with the unreacted epoxide rings present on the surface of the particles, thereby opening it and forming a covalent bond
- to enhance in vitro development of porcine oocytes matured and fertilized in vitro
- in a study to demonstrate the depletion effect of cysteamine on cystinotic leucocyte granular fractions of cystine by disulphide interchange
- as a radioprotector
- to administer subcutaneously in rats to study its blocking effect on somatostatin secretion without modifying the pancreatic insulin or glucagon content
- as a scavenger in electrophoretic gels (acetic acid/urea gels)
Biochem/physiol Actions
Cysteamine (β-mercaptoethylamine) depletes cystine from patient′s cells and there by regulates renal glomerular function and increases growth in them. Therefore, cysteamine is considered to be a potential therapeutic for nephropathic cystinosis.
