Sodium cysteamine phosphate is a prodrug derivative of cysteamine that can be used in cystinosis treatment. Although titrimetric assays are very well established and precise, iodimetric determination of sodium cysteamine phosphate requires considerably more carefulness and time from the analyst than usual. The possibility to assess sodium cysteamine phosphate by CE was evaluated by means of the quantification of its oxidation product, cystamine, which is a more suitable substance to be used as primary standard than sodium cysteamine phosphate. Apparently, this approach should be straightforward, but systematic differences between the results obtained with CE and titrimetric assays were noticed. MS and CE-MS were employed to aid in the investigation of the possible causes of imprecision of the sodium cysteamine phosphate titration and CE determination. For this purpose, a simple and inexpensive ESI source was constructed. It was observed that cystamine is not the final product of the cysteamine and/or sodium cysteamine phosphate iodine-oxidation and other species besides cystamine may be formed depending on the reaction conditions, which explains the difficulties observed in the sodium cysteamine phosphate quantification.

Development of a green-synthesized molecularly imprinted polymer-based electrochemical nanosensor for the determination of N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) in serum and tap water.

N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) was determined using a molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP)-based electrochemical sensor. Green-synthesized silver nanoparticles were functionalized with cysteamine to enhance their integration into the electrode surface, which was used to modify a glassy carbon electrode (GCE). Furthermore, a MIP-based electrochemical sensor was constructed via electropolymerization of 3-aminophenyl boronic acid (3-APBA) as a conjugated functional monomer in the presence of lithium perchlorate (LiClO) solution as a dopant, chitosan as a carrier natural polymer, and NDMA as a template/target molecule.

Article Synopsis
- * The modified dextrin (Dt-SH) showed a rough texture and better enzyme resistance, leading to the formation of spherical nanoparticles that varied in size and charge in solution.
- * These nanoparticles were effective in releasing curcumin in the intestines and showed that the curcumin was primarily attached to them through hydrogen bonding and van der Waals forces, supporting their potential for delivering hydrophobic substances.
Cystine crystal nucleation and decay in the context of cystinuria pathogenesis and treatment.

Article Synopsis
- - Cystinuria is a rare disease characterized by cystine crystal formation in urine, which can lead to kidney damage, and this study investigates the sources of these crystals to better understand the disease's development.
- - The research replicates the formation of cystine crystals in different urine types and examines how various substances, including cysteamine and sodium bicarbonate, affect the dissolution rate of these crystals.
- - Findings reveal that the dissolution of cystine crystals is more influenced by pH levels than previously thought, challenging existing theories and suggesting that cysteamine's effectiveness might be attributed to its pH-related properties and disulfide exchange capabilities.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a sudden brain injury due to an external force that causes a large number of deaths and permanent disabilities every year. S100B has been recognized as a potential objective quantitative biomarker for screening the prognosis of TBI and severe head injury. In this article, an anti-S100B monoclonal antibody was immobilized on cysteamine (Cy) functionalized gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) by EDC-NHS chemistry, which enabled S100B resonance Rayleigh scattering (RRS) detection based on antibody-labeled gold nanoparticles.

Nitric oxide (NO) is a key signalling molecule released by vascular endothelial cells that is essential for vascular health. Low NO bioactivity is associated with cardiovascular diseases, such as hypertension, atherosclerosis, and heart failure and NO donors are a mainstay of drug treatment. However, many NO donors are associated with the development of tolerance and adverse effects, so new formulations for controlled and targeted release of NO would be advantageous.
