Tiopronin Chemical Properties

Tiopronin(1953-2-2) is a prescription thiol drug used to control the rate of cystine precipitation and excretion in the disease cystinuria. It is a white crystalline powder. Due to its rarity, it falls under the classification of "orphan drug".
The molecular formula of Tiopronin(1953-2-2) is C5H9NO3S and its formula weight is 163.19.
Tiopronin(1953-2-2) has a melting point of  93-98 °C.
The chemical synonyms of Tiopronin(1953-2-2) are A-MERCAPTOPROPIONYL GLYCINE;ALPHA-MERCAPTO PROPIONYL GLYCINE;LABOTEST-BB LT00451995;TIOPRONIN;N-(2-MERCAPTOPROPIONYL)GLYCINE;Tiopronin, Vetranal;N-(2-MERCAPTOPROPIONYL)GLYCINE 99%;TOPRONIN

Tiopronin Uses

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.
