The derivatives of the mercaptoethansulphonic acid are active in the therapy of the bladder carcinoma and in the therapy and prevention of the cistinic kidney calculi. n The saline derivatives with basic aminoacids and their alkyl esters are moreover devoid of side effects. n The latter derivatives are prepared by reacting, in aqueous or aqueous-alcoholic medium, equimolar amounts of mercaptoethansulphonic acid, just prepared from an organic or inorganic salt thereof, and of the desired aminoacid. |
