penicillamine and Nearsightedness

penicillamine has been researched along with Nearsightedness in 2 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.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"To examine whether collagen crosslinking is important for the regulation of refractive development, tree shrews were treated with agents that block collagen crosslinking [beta-aminoproprionitrile (beta-APN), or D-penicillamine (DPA)] and underwent monocular deprivation (MD) of form vision by eyelid closure to induce myopia."3.69Prevention of collagen crosslinking increases form-deprivation myopia in tree shrew. ( McBrien, NA; Norton, TT, 1994)
