L-Thiomorpholine-3-carboxylic acid (L-TMC) is a cyclized analog of S-(2-chloroethyl)-L-cysteine, which is cytotoxic in vitro and nephrotoxic in vivo. To determine whether L-TMC may play a role in S-(2-chloroethyl)-L-cysteine-induced toxicity, the cytotoxicity of L-TMC was studied in isolated rat kidney cells.
