Description

Category: Amino Acids and Derivatives, Isotope Labelled Compounds, Sulfur and Selenium Compounds /// Appearance: White Solid /// Application Notes: L-Methionine [R,S]-Sulfoximine-13C5,15N is the isotope labelled analog of L-Methionine [R,S]-Sulfoximine. Methionine sulfoximine inhibits both glutamine synthetase and g-glutamylcysteine synthetase. Working concentrations for inhibition of g-glutamylcysteine synthetase are 0.2-2.0 mM (52% inhibition occured at 100 mM).Methionine sulfoximine is also a toxic byproduct of nitrogen trichloride, a compound that was used to bleach unprocessed wheat flour prior to 1968. The compound has been investigated as a potential neurotoxin linked to diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and Parkinson's disease. /// References: Griffith, O.W., and Meister, A.: J.
