Description

Methyl aminomethanimidothioate hydroiodide (MAI) is a nitro-substituted methylated analogue of the natural amino acid methionine. It has been shown to inhibit creatine kinase, which is an enzyme that regulates the conversion of energy from ATP to creatinine. MAI also inhibits adenosine receptors and can be used as an anti-inflammatory agent. It has been shown to suppress inflammatory diseases, such as arthritis and cancer, by inhibiting the production of inflammatory cytokines. MAI has been shown to be effective against viruses such as HIV and herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1).
