 |  | DL-Homocystine Usage And Synthesis |  
 | Chemical Properties | white to slightly beige solid |  | Uses | DL-Homocystine is used in the synthesis of potential antitumor agents through inhibition of L-asparagine. There is growing clinical evidence that elevated homocysteine levels are associated with an increased risk of venous and arterial thrombosis. |  | Definition | ChEBI: Homocystine is an organic disulfide obtained by oxidative dimerisation of homocysteine. It has a role as a human metabolite. It is a tautomer of a homocystine zwitterion. |  | Purification Methods | dl-Homocystine crystallises in platelets from water with 1H2O and m 258-260o(dec), all operations should be carried out under N2.
