What Is the Redox Potential of Ergothioneine?

Antioxid Redox Signal. 2023 Jun;38(16-18):1212-1213. doi: 10.1089/ars.2022.0192. Epub 2023 Jan 13.

Abstract

Commonly given citations for the redox potential of ergothioneine are incorrect. In addition, the value of -0.06 V should be viewed with skepticism since the method used to determine the redox potential of ergothioneine was also used to incorrectly determine the redox potential of glutathione.

Keywords: ergothioneine; monograph; redox potential.
