Description

white to almost white crystalline powder


Solid


Penicillamine is an alpha-amino acid having the structure of valine substituted at the beta position with a sulfanyl group. It is a non-proteinogenic alpha-amino acid and a thiol.|3-Mercapto-D-valine. The most characteristic degradation product of the penicillin antibiotics. It is used as an antirheumatic and as a chelating agent in Wilson's disease.
