Abstract:
:Nephropathic cystinosis is a rare autosomal recessive disease characterised by raised intracellular levels of the amino acid, cystine. If untreated, the disease, progressively deteriorates towards end stage renal disease (ESRD) at the end of the first decade. The disease is caused by a defect in the lysosomal transport mechanism for cystine. The treatment of choice is the aminothiol cysteamine which acts as a lysine mimic. However, cysteamine possesses an offensive taste and smell and irritates the gastrointestinal tract leading to nausea and vomiting following administration. Furthermore, the rapid metabolism of cysteamine requires oral administration every 6 h for life, in consequence, the patient compliance is poor. As part of our continuing work to obtain new pro-drugs for the treatment of this genetic disease, we have synthesised a folate derivative of cystamine, the disulfide derivative of cysteamine. This new pro-drug was non cytotoxic, showed greater ability to deplete intralysosomal cystine than the current treatment, and, in fact has been the most effective reducer of intralysosomal cystine discovered in our laboratories to date.
