Application

Cystamine dihydrochloride can be utilized as a building block in the synthesis of disulfide cross-linked oligodeoxyribonucleotides and psammaplin A . It can be also used to functionalize PGMA (poly(glycidyl methacrylate) microsphere) by introducing sulfhydryl groups for the further fabrication of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs).
