Product Description
D-Cysteine HCl is a cysteine analogue.
D-Cysteine hydrochloride is the hydrochloride salt of the D-enantiomer of cysteine, an amino acid containing a thiol side chain. This compound has the molecular formula C3H8ClNO2S and a molecular weight of 157.62 g/mol. It is a chiral amino acid used in specialized research and industrial applications. It is incorporated into skincare products for its antioxidant properties, helping to protect skin from oxidative stress. It is also used in biochemical research to study protein synthesis and enzyme function. It is an important intermediate in the synthesis of the antibiotic cefminox.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
D-Cysteine hydrochloride does not have a well-defined primary drug target as a free compound. However, it is an important intermediate in the synthesis of the antibiotic cefminox. As a cysteine derivative, it may interact with enzymes involved in cysteine metabolism or oxidative stress pathways. The D-enantiomer of cysteine is less common in nature and may have distinct biological properties compared to L-cysteine. Its antioxidant properties suggest potential targets in oxidative stress-related pathways.
ln Vitro
Commercial ergot supplements have been made from amino acids and their derivatives. They affect the release of anabolic hormones, the availability of fuel for activity, the ability to think clearly under pressure, and the prevention of muscular damage brought on by exertion. They are regarded as advantageous synergistic food ingredients [1].
In vitro activity of D-Cysteine hydrochloride is primarily related to its antioxidant properties. It can scavenge free radicals and protect cells from oxidative damage. As a building block for cefminox, its in vitro antibacterial activity would be associated with the final antibiotic product. Amino acid derivatives like this one are also used as ergogenic supplements. However, the specific in vitro activity of D-Cysteine hydrochloride has not been extensively characterized beyond its antioxidant effects and its role as a synthetic intermediate.
ln Vivo
There is no reported in vivo activity for D-Cysteine hydrochloride as a drug substance. The compound is used primarily as a research chemical and a synthetic intermediate. Its antioxidant properties suggest potential in vivo benefits, but animal studies have not been extensively reported. As a building block for cefminox, its in vivo antibacterial activity would be associated with the final antibiotic product.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro enzyme assays can be used to study the antioxidant activity of D-Cysteine hydrochloride. A typical protocol involves measuring its ability to scavenge free radicals, such as DPPH or ABTS. In this assay, the compound is incubated with the radical, and the decrease in absorbance is measured. The IC50 value, representing the concentration required to scavenge 50% of the radicals, is determined. This assay is commonly used to evaluate the antioxidant potential of compounds.
Cell Assay
Cell-based assays for D-Cysteine hydrochloride could focus on its antioxidant and cytoprotective effects. For example, cultured cells could be treated with an oxidative stress inducer (e.g., hydrogen peroxide) in the presence or absence of the compound. Cell viability, reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, and markers of oxidative damage (e.g., lipid peroxidation) could be measured to assess the compound's protective effects. This assay is commonly used to evaluate the cytoprotective potential of antioxidants.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal experiments for D-Cysteine hydrochloride are not commonly performed. However, given its antioxidant properties, it could be tested in animal models of oxidative stress-related diseases. For example, in a mouse model of skin photoaging, mice could be treated topically with the compound, and skin parameters such as wrinkles, hydration, and oxidative stress markers could be assessed.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic properties of D-Cysteine hydrochloride have not been well-characterized. As a small molecule (157.62 g/mol), it is likely to be absorbed orally. However, no detailed ADME data are available. The compound's thiol group may undergo metabolism via oxidation or conjugation. Its hydrochloride salt form enhances its aqueous solubility.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
The toxicity profile of D-Cysteine hydrochloride has not been extensively studied. As a research chemical, it is not intended for human use. Standard laboratory safety precautions should be followed. Given its structural similarity to L-cysteine, a natural amino acid, it may have a low toxicity profile. However, specific toxicological information is not available.

Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
