Dimethyl diacetyl cystinate

Dimethyl diacetyl cystinate (DACDM) is a potent NF-κB inhibitor. Dimethyl diacetyl cystinate shifts the intracellular redox balance toward the oxidized state by increasing intracellular oxidized glutathione (GSSG) content, competitively blocking the binding of activated NF-κB to DNA, thereby inhibiting the production of inflammatory factors such as IL-1κ. Dimethyl diacetyl cystinate is promising for research of UVB-induced skin inflammation and related oxidative stress diseases[1].
