title: [Taurine chloramine and its potential therapeutical application].
abstract: Taurine chloramine (TauCl) is generated at the site of inflammation as a result of reaction of taurine with hypochlorous acid (HOCl), the product of myeloperoxidase-halide system of neutrophils. It has been shown in vitro that TauCl exerts both anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial properties. This review is an attempt to summarize the recent clinical studies in which TauCl was used for local treatment of infectious and inflammatory diseases.
