CYSTEAMINE HYDROCHLORIDE (for synthesis) is a product provided by Research-Lab Fine Chem Industries. Laboratory reagents are chemicals which are used in laboratories as a part of experimental procedures. These reagents can be important parts of chemical reactions, analytical reagents or starting material for the production of other materials.

This CYSTEAMINE HYDROCHLORIDE is meant for synthesis. This organic compound is a stable aminothiol. This reagent is available as a powder which is soluble in water. Cysteamine is derived from the degradation of cysteine. While it is stable under general conditions, this reagent is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents. Cysteamine hydrochloride has a variety of applications in chemical and biological sectors. This compound finds several applications in the synthesis of various organic derivatives. Cysteamine is used as a medication, often to treat cystinosis. It performs this by entering the lysosomes and converting cystine into cysteine and cysteine-cysteamine mixed disulfide. It is additonally used in the biosynthesis of coenzyme A (CoA). This reagent is suitable for industrial synthesis of products and research applications.
