Optical Activity UNSPECIFIED

Oxothiazolidinecarboxylic Acid (L-2-oxothiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid, OTC) was currently undergoing evaluation in a Phase II clinical trial. It is suggested that an ideal drug may be an antisense oligonucleotide that blocks the expression of glycolate oxidase, a key enzyme in hepatic oxalate synthesis.

CNS Activity

Curator's Comment: Procysteine enters CSF after both IV and oral dosing and accumulates to significant levels in CSF. It was also observed that CSF levels of glutathione fall dramatically with aging.

Sample Use Guides

Oxothiazolidinecarboxylic Acid (L-2-oxothiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid, OTC), a prodrug of cysteine, was administered at a dose of 0.15 and 0.45 mmol/kg to healthy volunteers. The plasma concentration of OTC reached a peak between 45 and 60 min after p.o. administration.
Route of Administration: Oral
In Vitro Use Guide
Oxothiazolidinecarboxylic Acid (L-2-oxothiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid, OTC) was tested at concentrations of 5, 10, and 20 mM for its effect on acute and chronic HIV-1 infection as measured by RT activity in MDM isolated from adult peripheral blood and cord blood. Addition of OTC at a concentration of 10 or 20 mM to chronically infected cord blood MDM cultures also suppressed RT activity during the subsequent course of infection.
