Description

White Solid


A mercaptoethylamine compound that is endogenously derived from the COENZYME A degradative pathway. The fact that cysteamine is readily transported into LYSOSOMES where it reacts with CYSTINE to form cysteine-cysteamine disulfide and CYSTEINE has led to its use in CYSTINE DEPLETING AGENTS for the treatment of CYSTINOSIS.

Drug Information

Cystadrops is indicated for the treatment of corneal cystine crystal deposits in adults and children from 2 years of age with cystinosis.|Treatment of corneal cystine crystal deposits in cystinosis

Compounds and drugs that react with CYSTINE and convert it into a compound that can be more easily metabolized or intracellularly transported. Drugs in this class have been used to treat CYSTINOSIS. (See all compounds classified as Cystine Depleting Agents.)

Cysteamine hydrochloride Use and Manufacturing

Methods of Manufacturing

In a reaction flask, S-2-(tert-butoxycarbonyl amino)ethyl-ethantionate (45.5 g, 0.17 mol), n-butanol (315.00 ml) and an aqueous solution of 37percent hydrochloric acid (34.29 g, 0.35 mol) were loaded, the temperature was raised to 75° C. and the reaction mixture was maintained under these conditions for about six hours.

Uses

Cysteamine hydrochloride is used as an antioxidant and in radiation therapy.
