L-Cystine disodium monohydrate
Based on 1 Customer Validation
L-Cystine disodium monohydrate is an orally active extracellular form of L-Cysteine (HY-Y0337), occurring in proteins of plants and animals. L-Cystine disodium monohydrate elevates Nrf2 protein expression and activates Nrf2 transcription factor. L-Cystine disodium monohydrate reduces ROS generation and protects against oxidant- or Doxorubicin (HY-15142A)-induced apoptosis. L-Cystine disodium monohydrate combined with L-theanine (HY-15121) enhances the production of antigen-specific IgG by increasing glutathione (GSH) levels and T helper 2 (Th2) mediated responses in mice. L-Cystine disodium monohydrate is promising for research of cystinuria and kidney stones.

Biological Activity
L-Cystine (83 µM or 200 µM, 24 h or 72 h) disodium monohydrate effectively reverses the growth inhibition of both Sulfasalazine (HY-14655) and Erastin (HY-15763) in Huh6 cells[1]. L-Cystine ( 0.8 mM, 4 h) disodium monohydrate induces Nrf2 protein expression elevation in a Keap1-dependent manner in HeLa cells[6].

Cell Line:Huh6 and Huh7 cells
-
Concentration:83 µM or 200 µM
-
Incubation Time:72 h or 24 h
-
Result:The degree of growth inhibition by Sulfasalazine (HY-14655) or Erastin (HY-15763) was greater in medium containing a physiological level of 83 μM L-cystine than in medium containing 200 μM L-cystine in Huh6 and Huh7 cells.
-
Cell Line:HeLa cells
-
Concentration:0.2 mM, 0.8 mM
-
Incubation Time:4 h
-
Result:Was sufficient for producing Nrf2 protein elevation at 0.2 mM in HeLa cells. Induced Nrf2 in a Keap1-dependent manner in HeLa cells.
