Amustaline
Amustaline (S-303) is a compound used for inactivating pathogens in blood components and belongs to the category of nucleic acid-targeted chemical decontaminants. Amustaline has the ability to inactivate viruses and is effective against mosquito-borne viruses such as Chikungunya virus (CHIKV), Dengue virus (DENV), and Zika virus (ZIKV). When combined with glutathione (Glutathione, GSH), which acts as a neutralizer to counteract adverse reactions, Amustaline ensures the stability of red blood cell membranes. Amustaline is mainly used for inactivating pathogens in red blood cell concentrates (RBCC) to reduce the risk of transfusion-transmitted infections (TTI).
