Glutathione may decrease the concentrations of inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, IL-18), neutrophils in lung tissue and increase the level of serum Ca2+ and be useful for the treatment of ANP. Glutathione production is regulated via distinct pathways in stressed and non-stressed cortical neurons. This compound has neuroprotective properties.||Synonyms:|L-γ-Glutamyl-L-cysteinyl-glycine; Agifutol S; Bakezyme RX; Copren; Deltathione; GSH; Glutathion; Glutathione-SH; Glutide; Glutinal; Isethion; L-Glutathione; Neuthion; Reduced glutathione; Tathion; Tathione; Triptide||CAS Number:|70-18-8||Molecular Formula:|C10H17N3O6S||Molecular Weight:|307.3||Appearance:|White crystalline powder||Purity:|≥98%||Solubility:|DMSO, water|Colorless, clear||Specific Rotation: |-15.5º to -17.5º||Melting Point:|192-195°C (dec.)(lit.)||Loss on Drying: |≤0.5%||Residue of Ignition:|≤0.1%||Heavy Metals: |≤0.001%||Arsenic:|≤0.001%||Storage and Stability:|Store at 4ºC.
