Thioglucose
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Thioglucose is a thiosugar with antioxidant properties. Thioglucose acts as an H2S/polysulfide donor to elevate intracellular sulfane sulfur levels and promote hydropersulfide formation. Thioglucose reduces the endocytosis of gold nanoparticles by phagocytes, enhances cytotoxicity and improves biocompatibility by increasing their adsorption on the surface of cancer cells. Thioglucose can be engineered into a stimulus-responsive prodrug or functional reagent for the development of targeted nanocarriers, and is used in studies related to human breast adenocarcinoma and cervical cancer.

Biological Activity
Thioglucose (100 μM; 1 h) in combination with 10 μg/mL GOx in 50 mM PBS buffer (pH 7.4) produces H2S, as detected by the fluorescent probe WSP5 (HY-129420) after 1 hour at room temperature[2].
Thioglucose-functionalised 50 nm gold nanoparticles (20 ppm) show the highest uptake across HMEC-1, HeLa, and MCF-7 cells, with uptake levels significantly lower than in RAW 264.7 cells[3].
