Abstract

L-Cysteine-glutathione mixed disulfide (CySSG), a prodrug of glutathione (GSH), was found to be orally bioavailable in mice, and protected mice against a toxic dose of acetaminophen. If oral bioavailability can also be demonstrated in humans, a wide range of applicability for CySSG can be envisioned.
