Dimethylpropiothetin

Sulfonium, (2-carboxyethyl)dimethyl-, chloride (1:1)

C5H10O2S (134.0401)


Dimethylsulfoniopropionate, also known as dimethylpropiothetin or S-dimethylsulfonium propionic acid, is a member of the class of compounds known as carboxylic acid salts. Carboxylic acid salts are ionic derivatives of carboxylic acid. Dimethylsulfoniopropionate is slightly soluble (in water) and a weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Dimethylsulfoniopropionate can be found in a number of food items such as sugar apple, american butterfish, coriander, and oxheart cabbage, which makes dimethylsulfoniopropionate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. Dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP), is an organosulfur compound with the formula (CH3)2S+CH2CH2COO−. This zwitterionic metabolite can be found in marine phytoplankton, seaweeds, and some species of terrestrial and aquatic vascular plants. It functions as an osmolyte as well as several other physiological and environmental roles have also been identified. DMSP was first identified in the marine red alga Polysiphonia fastigiata by Frederick Challenger and Margaret Simpson (later Dr. Whitaker) .
