Description

Methanesulfonic anhydride is a white crystalline solid that is soluble in water and ethanol. It has been shown to be a potent inhibitor of acetaminophen metabolism and the formation of reactive metabolites. Methanesulfonic anhydride inhibits the metabolic activity of cytochrome P450 enzymes, which are responsible for the oxidation of acetaminophen. This inhibition leads to lower levels of toxic metabolites and less tissue damage. Methanesulfonic anhydride also modulates other assays, such as those for nitric oxide synthase and prostaglandin E2 receptors. Methanesulfonic anhydride is used as a catalyst in chemical reactions, including those that produce hydrogen sulfide gas for use in gold mining. It has also been used to study the localization of various proteins by using probes labeled with methanesulfonic anhydride. Methanesulfonic anhydride may cause hypertension due to its ability to inhibit the degradation of norepinephrine, leading to increased
