Application
N-(2-Mercaptopropionyl)glycine or Tiopronin has been used:
- in the preparation of polyethylenimine (PEI)-coated gold microparticles (PEI-gold) for biolistic delivery of nucleic acids
- to study the role of reactive oxygen species (ROS) at the reperfusion stage in in vivo isoflurane preconditioning-induced neuroprotection
- as a ROS inhibitor to study its effect on lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC)-induced inflammasome activation
Biochem/physiol Actions
N-(2-Mercaptopropionyl)glycine (NMPG) is a thiol compound associated with autoimmune hypoglycemia. It is a diffusible antioxidant and reduces the severity of colonic injury. NMPG also relieves myeloperoxidase activity and stimulates hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) - vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) pathway for ulcer healing.
N-(2-Mercaptopropionyl)glycine is a free radical scavenger.
