D-Cysteine
Based on 1 Customer Validation
D-Cysteine, the D-isomer of cysteine, is an orally active antibacterial agent and a regulator of neural progenitor cell proliferation. D-Cysteine can inhibit Escherichia coli, Streptococcus mutans, and Streptococcus sanguinis. The no-observed-adverse-effect level of D-Cysteine in rats should be less than 500 mg/kg/day.

Animal Model:Male Crl:CD(SD)IGS rats[2]
-
Dosage:500, 1,000 and 2,000 mg/kg
-
Administration:Oral gavage (i.g.); 28 days
-
Result:Caused anemia and renal injuries such as basophilic tubules with eosinophilic material in the lumen, increased numbers of basophilic tubules, and crystal deposition in the medulla in the 2,000 mg/kg/day-treated group.
Caused sperm granuloma in the epididymis, necropsy findings suggestive of focal erosion in the stomach mucosa, and salivation in the 1,000 or 2,000 mg/kg/day-treated groups. One rat in the 2,000 mg/kg/day-treated group died due to renal failure.
