S-CARBOXYMETHYL-L-CYSTEINE CAS#2387-59-9
Carbamoylcysteine (CMC) is a derivative of amino acid. It is obtained by reacting cysteine with a molecule of formamide.
Physical and Chemical Properties: White crystalline powder; odorless, acidic; soluble in water (solubility 1.6g/L), insoluble in acetone and ether.
Solubility: Carboxymethyl cysteine is easy to dissolve in water, also can be dissolved in some organic solvents. Oxidizability: Carboxymethylcysteine is a readily oxidizable substance, and when subjected to oxygen or other oxidizing agents, it can be converted to carboxymethylcysteine disulfide (carbamoylcysteine disulfide) or other oxidation products.
Bioactivity: Carboxymethylcysteine has an important role in living organisms. It is involved in processes such as protein folding and stabilization, regulation of oxidative stress, and catalysis of some biochemical reactions. Treatment of respiratory diseases: Carboxymethylcysteine is used in the treatment of respiratory diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and bronchial asthma. It has secretory and osmotic properties that improve mucus drainage and bronchial patency.
Bronchodilator formulations: Carboxymethylcysteine can be used as a bronchodilator in formulations to help stretch bronchial muscles and improve respiratory patency.
Antioxidant applications: Carboxymethyl Cysteine has antioxidant properties that reduce intracellular free radical damage to DNA, proteins and lipids.
Uses: It can promote the metabolism and repair of skin cells, with antioxidant, moisturizing and whitening effects. It can also be used in the production of health products and protein emulsifiers.
