Cystamine dihydrochloride is a transglutaminase inhibitor. Attenuates cell death induced by 3-nitropropionic acid in Huntington's disease (HD) striatal cells. Also decreases aggregated and cross-linked huntingtin in transfected cells, and increases brain levels of BDNF. Shown to extend survival and improve motor performance in transgenic HD mice. Neuroprotective.

| Animal A (mg/kg) = Animal B (mg/kg) multiplied by | Animal B Km |
| Animal A Km |
For example, to modify the dose of Compound A used for a mouse (20 mg/kg) to a dose based on the BSA for a rat, multiply 20 mg/kg by the Km factor for a mouse and then divide by the Km factor for a rat. This calculation results in a rat equivalent dose for Compound A of 10 mg/kg.
