Product Data
Biological target:
DL-Homocysteine thiolactone hydrochloride is a cyclic amino acid derivative that exhibits root-growth inhibitory activity.
In vitro activity:
In order to assess the effects of HTL (homocysteine thiolactone) on plasma fibrin networks, a pool of normal plasma incubated with HTL (100, 500 and 1,000 μmol/L, respectively) was evaluated by global coagulation tests and fibrin formation kinetic assays, and the resulting fibrin was observed by scanning electron microscopy. HTL significantly prolonged global coagulation tests in a concentration-dependent manner with respect to control, and increases were up to 14.5%. Fibrin formation kinetic parameters displayed statistically significant differences between HTL-treated plasma and control in a concentration-dependent way, showing higher lag phase and lower maximum reaction velocity and final network optical density. Reference: J Thromb Thrombolysis. 2014 Nov;38(4):540-5. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24659173/
In vivo activity:
The mice in the experimental groups were subjected to intravitreal injections of Hcy-T (homocysteine thiolactone) to reach final estimated intravitreal concentrations at 5, 25, and 200 μM, respectively. Dose-dependent retinal homocysteinylation after Hcy-T injection was confirmed. Excessive retinal homocysteinylation by Hcy-T, a condition of hyperhomocysteinemia, could lead to degeneration of photoreceptors, which might lead to retinopathies associated with severe hyperhomocysteinemia or diabetes mellitus.
