Description

S-Methyl-L-thiocitrulline acetate salt (SMTSA) is an inhibitor of the enzyme cyclase that inhibits the production of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) in the gastrointestinal tract. SMTSA has been shown to reduce 5-HT concentrations in mesenteric vessels and inhibit the physiological effects of 5-HT in rats. This drug also inhibits dopamine release from synaptosomes, which may be due to its ability to act as a competitive inhibitor of ester hydrochloride, dinucleotide phosphate, and cyclase. In addition, this drug has been shown to have a cytotoxic effect on cardiac myocytes by causing calcium influx into the cytosol and inhibiting ryanodine receptor channels.
