penicillamine and Contracture

penicillamine has been researched along with Contracture in 5 studies

Penicillamine: 3-Mercapto-D-valine. The most characteristic degradation product of the penicillin antibiotics. It is used as an antirheumatic and as a chelating agent in Wilson's disease.
penicillamine : An alpha-amino acid having the structure of valine substituted at the beta position with a sulfanyl group.

Contracture: Prolonged shortening of the muscle or other soft tissue around a joint, preventing movement of the joint.

"The combination of beta-aminopropionitrile and D-penicillamine is potentially useful for inhibiting contracture formation when injected locally."3.69Inhibition of wound contraction with locally injected lathyrogenic drugs. ( Anderson, GL; Barker, JH; Joseph, HL; Roisen, FJ; Tobin, GR; Weiner, LJ, 1997)
"In a retrospective study on progressive systemic sclerosis, we compared 73 patients who had received D-penicillamine therapy for a minimum of 6 consecutive months with 45 patients who had not received this drug."1.26D-Penicillamine therapy in progressive systemic sclerosis (scleroderma): a retrospective analysis.
