Uses
The disulfide chain allows the mono-BOC-cystamine to be easily cleaved, allowing removal of the tagging residue when desired.
Mono-BOC-cystamine is used as a crosslinker for the synthesis of cleavable photo-cross-linking reagent.[3]
Mono-BOC-cystamine is used as a crosslinker for the synthesis of a biodegradable cystamine spacer in PGA-cystamine-Gd-DO3A, which shows improved MRI contrast for breast carcinoma imaging in mice. [4]
