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.

In this in vivo and in vitro study, we aimed to investigate whether isoflurane preconditioning-induced neuronal protection is mediated by reactive oxygen species (ROS) signaling at the reperfusion stage. In the in vivo study, Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to middle

We investigated anti-colitic effects of N-(2-mercaptopropionyl)-glycine (NMPG), a diffusible antioxidant, in TNBS-induced rat colitis model and a potential molecular mechanism underlying the pharmacologic effect of the antioxidant. NMPG alleviated colonic injury and effectively lowered myeloperoxidase activity. Moreover, NMPG substantially attenuated

Emulsified isoflurane (EI) has been shown to alleviate myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury. However, previous reports have not been focused on the underlying mechanism. We used models of IR injury in Langendorff-isolated rat hearts to determine the relationship between the mechanism
