Mycothiol
Mycothiol is a glyco-inositol-cysteine thiol that serves as the primary low-molecular-weight antioxidant and detoxification agent in many Actinobacteria, functionally analogous to glutathione in eukaryotes. It is a key research target for studying bacterial redox biology, stress response, and for developing novel antimicrobial strategies in both in vitro and in vivo experimental models.
