Cystamine dihydrochloride is a useful reagent to derivatize various polymer monoliths for hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography; as a crosslinking agent in the development of polymer hydrogels; and as a functional group in nanoparticles developed for siRNA and DNA delivery.

Autofluorescent microcapsules were assembled by covalent cross-linking of polysaccharide alginate dialdehyde (ADA) derivative and cystamine dihydrochloride (CM) through a layer-by-layer (LBL) technique. The formulated Schiff base and disulfide bonds render capsules with pH- and redox-responsive properties for pinpointed intracellular delivery

Gold nanoparticles (GNPs) are attractive alternative optical probes and good biocompatible materials due to their special physical and chemical properties. However, GNPs have a tendency to aggregate particularly in the presence of high salts and certain biological molecules such as

N-propionyl-4-S-cysteaminylphenol (NPr-4-S-CAP) is selectively incorporated into melanoma cells and degrades them. However, it remains unclear whether NPr-4-S-CAP can induce cell death associated with the induction of host immune responses and tumor suppression in vivo. To examine the molecular mechanism of
The post-translational modification of proteins with O-GlcNAc is involved in various cellular processes including signal transduction, transcription, translation, and nuclear transport. This transient protein modification enables cells or tissues to adapt to nutrient conditions or stress. O-Glycosylation of the 26
Metastatic melanoma is resistant to conventional therapies. N-propionyl-4-S-cysteaminylphenol (NPrCAP), an N-protected sulfur-amine analog of tyrosine, is a good substrate for tyrosinase and is selectively incorporated into melanoma cells, causing cytotoxicity in vitro and in vivo. We have recently shown that
