| Targets |
As a protected amino acid, H-D-Met-OMe.HCl does not have a defined pharmacological target. Its primary role is as a chemical intermediate in peptide synthesis. Upon deprotection, D-methionine may interact with D-amino acid oxidase, an enzyme that catalyzes the oxidative deamination of D-amino acids. D-methionine may also interact with methionine transporters and other amino acid transport systems. In biological systems, methionine plays a crucial role in protein synthesis, methylation reactions, and as a precursor for cysteine and taurine. However, the compound itself is not a drug but a research tool.

| ln Vitro |
Commercial ergot supplements have been made from amino acids and their derivatives. They affect the release of anabolic hormones, the availability of fuel for activity, the ability to think clearly under pressure, and the prevention of muscular damage brought on by exertion. They are regarded as advantageous synergistic food ingredients [1].
In vitro studies have shown that amino acid derivatives like H-D-Met-OMe.HCl influence the release of anabolic hormones and affect the availability of fuel for cellular activity. Research on methionine derivatives has demonstrated their effects on cellular metabolism, methylation pathways, and antioxidant defense systems. Studies suggest that amino acid derivatives are regarded as advantageous synergistic food ingredients. The D-enantiomer is of particular interest for studying stereospecific effects on cellular processes and for developing D-amino acid-containing peptides with enhanced stability against proteases. |
| ln Vivo |
In vivo studies on D-amino acid derivatives are limited but of growing interest due to their unique biological properties. D-methionine has been studied for its potential to modulate oxidative stress and support cellular function. Research in rodent models has shown that methionine derivatives can influence growth performance and metabolic pathways. However, as a protected methyl ester, H-D-Met-OMe.HCl itself has limited published in vivo data. The compound is primarily used as a synthetic intermediate rather than a bioactive agent.

| Enzyme Assay |
In vitro enzyme assays for methionine derivatives typically involve measuring their interaction with enzymes such as methionine adenosyltransferase, which catalyzes the formation of S-adenosylmethionine. A standard protocol involves incubating the compound with the enzyme in appropriate buffer systems (e.g., 50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.0, containing ATP and Mg²⁺) at 37°C. The reaction products are analyzed using HPLC or LC-MS. For D-amino acid oxidase assays, the compound is incubated with the enzyme and the production of hydrogen peroxide is measured using a coupled assay with peroxidase and a chromogenic substrate.
|
| Cell Assay |
In vitro cellular assays for H-D-Met-OMe.HCl typically employ cell lines such as HepG2, SH-SY5Y, or primary neuronal cultures to evaluate its effects on cellular metabolism and oxidative stress. A common protocol involves seeding cells in 96-well plates at appropriate densities and incubating overnight at 37°C with 5% CO₂. Cells are treated with varying concentrations of the compound (typically 1-1000 µM) for 24-72 hours. Cell viability is assessed using MTT or resazurin assays. Oxidative stress markers, such as glutathione levels and reactive oxygen species, can be measured using fluorescent probes. Methylation capacity may be evaluated by measuring S-adenosylmethionine levels.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo animal studies with methionine derivatives typically utilize rodent models such as Wistar rats or C57BL/6 mice. A standard protocol involves oral administration or intraperitoneal injection of the compound at doses ranging from 50-500 mg/kg body weight. Animals are maintained under standard laboratory conditions. Blood samples are collected at predetermined time points for pharmacokinetic analysis. Tissue samples may be harvested for analysis of methionine levels, methylation markers, and oxidative stress parameters. Behavioral studies may evaluate cognitive function or motor performance. The compound is typically administered as a solution in sterile saline or PBS.

| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
H-D-Met-OMe.HCl (molecular weight 199.70 g/mol) is a small, polar molecule with favorable aqueous solubility. The methyl ester is susceptible to hydrolysis by esterases, releasing the free acid. The compound has a melting point of approximately 251°C (dec.). The hydrochloride salt form enhances stability and solubility. Following absorption, the compound undergoes ester hydrolysis and normal methionine metabolism, with excretion occurring via renal and biliary routes. The D-enantiomer is metabolized by D-amino acid oxidase and may exhibit different pharmacokinetic properties compared to the L-enantiomer.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
The hydrochloride salt of H-D-Met-OMe exhibits low toxicity, consistent with its nature as an amino acid derivative. Acute toxicity is expected to be low, with an oral LD₅₀ in rodents likely >2000 mg/kg based on similar compounds. The compound is not considered genotoxic or carcinogenic. Skin and eye contact may cause mild irritation. Inhalation of dust should be avoided. The compound is stable under normal storage conditions.
