S-Methylcysteine

S-Methyl-L-cysteine, substrate for methionine sulfoxide reductase A

C4H9NO2S (135.0354)


S-methylcysteine is a cysteine derivative that is L-cysteine in which the hydrogen attached to the sulfur is replaced by a methyl group. It has a role as a human urinary metabolite and a plant metabolite. It is a tautomer of a S-methylcysteine zwitterion. S-Methyl-L-cysteine is a natural product that acts as a substrate in the catalytic antioxidant system mediated by methionine sulfoxide reductase A (MSRA), with antioxidative, neuroprotective, and anti-obesity activities.

S-methylcysteine, hydrochloride, (L-Cys)-isomer

C4H9NO2S (135.0354)


Methylcysteine is one of the identified number of bioactive substances in garlic that are water soluble (PMID 16484549). It has been suggested that the use of these organosulfur agents derived from garlic could protect partially oxidized and glycated LDL or plasma against further oxidative and glycative deterioration, which might benefit patients with diabetic-related vascular diseases (PMID 15161248). It may also exert some chemopreventive effects on chemical carcinogenesis. However, it should be borne in mind that may also demonstrate promotion potential, depending on the organ examined (PMID 9591199). Methylcystein is a biomarker for the consumption of dried and cooked beans. S-n-methylcysteine, also known as (2r)-2-amino-3-(methylsulfanyl)propanoic acid or 3-(methylthio)-L-alanine, is a member of the class of compounds known as L-cysteine-s-conjugates. L-cysteine-s-conjugates are compounds containing L-cysteine where the thio-group is conjugated. S-n-methylcysteine is soluble (in water) and a moderately acidic compound (based on its pKa). S-n-methylcysteine can be found in soft-necked garlic, which makes S-n-methylcysteine a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product. S-n-methylcysteine can be found primarily in blood and urine. S-Methyl-L-cysteine is a natural product that acts as a substrate in the catalytic antioxidant system mediated by methionine sulfoxide reductase A (MSRA), with antioxidative, neuroprotective, and anti-obesity activities.
