S-Adenosyl-L-Methionine Disulfate Tosylate

S-Adenosyl-L-Methionine Disulfate Tosylate (SAMe) is a stable form of S-Adenosyl-L-Methionine, an important endogenous methyl donor involved in various biochemical processes. It is widely used in research and clinical applications due to its stability and bioactivity.

Description

Function

  1. Methyl Donor: SAMe is a key participant in methylation reactions, including DNA, RNA, and protein methylation, which are crucial for gene expression regulation.
  2. Antidepressant Effects: It has potent antidepressant properties and is used to support mental health.
  3. Anti-Inflammatory and Analgesic Properties: SAMe is used to alleviate symptoms of osteoarthritis and other inflammatory conditions.
  4. Liver Health: SAMe supports liver function and is used in the treatment of chronic liver diseases.
  5. Cancer Research: SAMe has demonstrated anti-proliferative, pro-apoptotic, and anti-metastatic effects in various cancer models.
  6. Neuroprotection: It has been shown to prevent neurobehavioral disorders and improve cognitive function in animal models.

Application

  • Pharmaceuticals: Used in the treatment of depression, osteoarthritis, liver diseases, and fibromyalgia.
  • Dietary Supplements: Available as a supplement to support mental health, joint function, and liver health.
  • Research: Widely used in studies related to gene expression, cancer biology, neuropharmacology, and liver health.
  • Animal Models: Studied for its effects on neurodevelopmental disorders and epilepsy.
