Description

Methionine-S-methyl sulfonium chloride is a methionine analog that is used as a dietary supplement. It has been shown to inhibit the synthesis of prostaglandins in animals, which may be due to its inhibition of arachidonic acid release. Methionine-S-methyl sulfonium chloride also inhibits UVB-induced erythema and uvb-induced reactions in animals. This drug is metabolized by the enzyme methionine adenosyltransferase, which converts it into S-adenosylmethionine (SAM). SAM is a methyl donor for DNA methylation and other methylation reactions. Methionine-S-methyl sulfonium chloride may have a physiological effect on plants through its effects on their metabolism, especially with respect to their growth rate and nutrient uptake.
