Product Information

• Name: O-Methyl-L-threonine
• Synonyms: L-Thr(Me)-OH(S)-2-Amino-3-methoxybutanoic acid
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: O-Methyl-L-threonine is an analog of L-threonine. O-Methyl-L-threonine inhibits the production of fatty acids in resistant mutants, which are activated by the addition of a hydroxy group to their amino acid backbone. This analog has been shown to be effective at suppressing the growth of animal health bacteria and fungi, and has been used as a treatment for protein synthesis disorders in animals. O-Methyl-L-threonine is also used as a precursor for nicotinic acetylcholine synthesis. In vivo tests have shown that it has no toxic effects on mammalian cells, but does not inhibit photosynthesis in plants.
