Tiopronin(1953-2-2) is used primarily for cystinuria and is well known in the cystinuric community. It may also be used for Wilson's disease (an overload of copper in the body), and certain types of rare arthritis. It should be mentioned though, that tiopronin is not an anti-inflammatory.
Depending on the severity of a person's cystinuria, tiopronin may be taken for life, possibly starting in early childhood.
Tiopronin(1953-2-2) is also sometimes used as a stabilizing agent for metal nanoparticles. The thiol group binds to the nanoparticles, preventing coagulation.
