2-amino-ethanethio - Reference Information
| EPA chemical substance information | information provided by: ofmpeb.epa.gov (external link) |
| biological activity | 2-aminooethanethol (cysteamine, β-mercaptoethylamine, 2-Mercaptoethylamine, thioetholamine, Mercaptamine) is a radioprotective agent, cystamine can be formed by oxidation in air. |
| Usage | is a strong dopamine-β-hydroxylase inhibitor, leading to dopamine accumulation, dopamine strongly promotes the synthesis and secretion of GH in the hypothalamus. The active ingredients can improve the body's nutrient absorption and transformation, improve the growth rate of livestock and poultry, reduce body fat deposition, inhibit protein degradation, promote protein synthesis and other physiological regulation. used as a Biochemical reagent It has the effect of relieving the damage of metals to the enzyme system in the body and has antioxidant properties, which can prevent the damage of X-rays and radioactive substances. Pharmaceutical, pesticide, cosmetic intermediates. |
| production method | β-bromoethylamine is obtained by the addition of ethanolamine and hydrogen bromide, which is then cyclized with carbon disulfide in the presence of sulfuric acid, finally, it was obtained by hydrolysis. This method is easy to control the reaction, the equipment requirements are not high, suitable for industrial use. In addition, it can also be obtained by the addition of cycloethylamine and hydrogen sulfide. |
