To assess the effectiveness of L-cystine dimethyl ester (CDME), an inhibitor of cystine crystal growth, for the treatment of cystine urolithiasis in a Slc3a1 knockout mouse model of cystinuria. CDME (200 μg per mouse) or water was delivered by gavage daily for four weeks. Higher doses by gavage or in the water supply were administered to assess organ toxicity. Urinary amino acids and cystine stones were analyzed to assess drug efficacy using several analytical methods. Treatment with CDME led to a significant decrease in stone size compared with the water group (p = 0.0002), but the number of stones was greater (p = 0.005). The change in stone size distribution between the two groups was evident by micro computed tomography. Overall, cystine excretion in urine was the same between the two groups (p = 0.23), indicating that CDME did not interfere with cystine metabolism. SEM analysis of cystine stones from the CDME group demonstrated a change in crystal habit, with numerous small crystals. L-cysteine methyl ester was detected by UPLC-MS in stones from the CDME group only, indicating that a CDME metabolite was incorporated into the crystal structure. No pathological changes were observed at the doses tested. These data demonstrate that CDME promotes formation of small stones but does not prevent stone formation, consistent with the hypothesis that CDME inhibits cystine crystal growth. Combined with the lack of observed adverse effects, our findings support the use of CDME as a viable treatment for cystine urolithiasis.
