“…The kinetics of exchange of the cysteamine moiety among CSH, CSSC and GSSC at pD 8. 4 Pseudo-first-order rate constants determined from the 1D EXSY spectra are listed in Table 1. The rate constants were calculated in terms of the populations of the three sites, which for CSSC is twice the concentration.…”

“…Penicillamine (PenA, 3,3-dimethylcysteine) is a nonprotienogenic amino acid containing thiol group and its D-isomer is widely used in the treatment of Wilson's disease, polyarthritis cystinuria, heavy metal intoxication (Crawhall et al, 1979) and rheumatoid arthritis (Bonta et al, 1980). The pure D (or S) form of the drug is used because L (or R) form and DL (RS) racemates are very toxic and have mutagenicity (Kean et al, 1991).…”

“…For instance, glutathione (GSH), a representative thiol, occupies 90% of non-protein thiols in mammalian cells and plays important roles in the protection of the body from oxidation and in detoxication (Kosower and Kosower, 1978;Orrenius et al, 1983). D-Penicillamine, not being a biological thiol, was found in human urine as a metabolite of pencillin and has been used as an excellent therapeutic agent (Crawhall et al, 1979). Recently it has been reported that D-penicillamine has a potential activity for the AIDS virus (Chandra and Sarin,19S6).…”
