L-ETHIONINE Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

White Solid

Uses

Ethionine-induced inhibition of protein synthesis and lowering of ATP level in the liver.

Definition

ChEBI: An S-ethylhomocysteine that has S-configuration at the chiral centre.

Biological Activity

An analog of methionine th at interferes with the normal methylation of DNA and other methylation pathways, and induces pancreatic toxicity and liver cancer. However, in animal studies, it has also been shown to act synergistically with methionine-depletion to block the growth and metastasis of methionine-dependent tumors.

Purification Methods

Likely impurities are N-acetyl-(R and S)-ethionine, S-methionine, and R-ethionine. Crystallise it from water by adding 4volumes of EtOH or 85% aqueous EtOH. It sublimes at 196-216o/0.3mm with 99.1% recovery and unracemised [Gross & Gradsky J Am Chem Soc 77 1678 1955].
