DL-Ethionine

Description:

DL-Ethionine, with the CAS number 67-21-0, is an amino acid derivative that is classified as a non-proteinogenic amino acid. It is a sulfur-containing compound, specifically an analog of methionine, and is characterized by the presence of both L- and D- enantiomers, hence the prefix "DL." Ethionine is known for its role in various biochemical processes, particularly in studies related to liver function and carcinogenesis. It is a white crystalline solid that is soluble in water and exhibits a slightly bitter taste. The compound is often used in research settings to investigate its effects on protein synthesis and metabolic pathways. Additionally, DL-Ethionine has been studied for its potential role as a hepatotoxic agent, as it can induce liver damage in certain experimental models. Its chemical structure includes an ethyl group attached to the sulfur atom, which contributes to its unique properties and biological activities. Safety precautions should be observed when handling this compound due to its toxicological effects.

DL-Ethionine

CAS: 67-21-0

DL-Ethionine is a compound that is formed when the amino acid methionine is converted to ethionine. It has been shown to induce the formation of acid in the liver and pancreas, which can lead to pancreatitis. Experimental models have shown that DL-ethionine causes liver injury by inhibiting tissue repair mechanisms, such as the polymerase chain reaction. This inhibition prevents DNA synthesis, leading to cell death. The mechanism of DL-ethionine induced toxicity is currently being investigated.
