Notes: Tiopronin-d3 is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of tiopronin (Item No. 23720) by GC- or LC-MS. Tiopronin is an antioxidant that has diverse biological activities.{37228,37229,37230,37231,37232} It reduces free radical production by murine macrophages and granulocytes in vitro in a dose-dependent manner.{37228} Tiopronin induces expression of hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α) and increases VEGF secretion in human colon carcinoma cells.{37229} Rectal administration (500 μl of a 10 mM solution) reduces myeloperoxidase activity and reduces pro-inflammatory cytokine production in the colon in a rat model of colitis. Tiopronin (80-320 mg/kg per day) reduces the incidence of cleft palate in fetuses born to female mice orally exposed to teratogenic methylmercury chloride.{37230} Tiopronin (100 mg/kg) reduces heme oxygenase 1 mRNA expression, lipid peroxidation, and transverse aortic constriction in a mouse model of cardiac hypertrophy.{37231} Tiopronin (20 mg/kg) is hepatoprotective, increasing activity of the antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase and reversing hepatocyte degeneration in a rat model of high-fat diet-induced non-alcoholic steatohepatitis.{37232}
