QUICK LINKS

L-(+)-Penicillamine is a chiral compound that functions as a chelating agent in experimental applications. It acts by forming stable complexes with heavy metal ions, such as copper and lead, through the thiol group in its structure. This chelation process effectively removes these metal ions from biological systems, preventing their harmful effects on cellular processes. L-(+)-Penicillamine may inhibit the formation of disulfide bonds in proteins, which can alter their structure and function. L-(+)-Penicillamine′s mechanism of action involves disrupting the normal formation of these bonds, leading to potential changes in protein conformation and activity.
