Citiolone is a drug used in liver therapy. It is a derivative of the amino acid cysteine.[1] Citilone has also been studied with regards to hypothermia due to it being a hydroxyl free radical scavenger. The drug has been shown to protect hamster cells subjected to temperature conditions of 8-25oC.[2]
