L-Penicillamine Use and Manufacturing

As a Penicillin metabolite, L-Penicillamine can be used in the treatment of Wilson’s disease, Cystinuria, Scleroderma and arsenic poisoning. The mechanism of action of penicillamine is unknown, but some evidence suggests that it may involve the inhibition of angiogenesis, synovial fibroblast proliferation, or transcriptional activation. Because penicillamine can chelate copper and promote its excretion, it is used to treat Wilson’s disease (hepatolenticular degeneration) and has also bee
