| Bioactivity | Methionine (MRX-1024; D-Methionine) is an effective chemoprotective agent which can also inhibit the neuronal activity through GABAA receptor activation. | ||||||||||||
| Invitro | The incubation of human plasma with Methionine (D-methionine) and CP leads to the formation of a Pt-D-methionine complex independent of the order of addition. In plasma, an early CP hydrolysis product reacts with Methionine to form a 1:1 complex that is followed by the formation of a 2:1 compound at a later time point. The formation of these Pt-D-methionine species plays an important role in the processes by which Methionine protects mammalian organisms against CP-induced toxicities[2]. | ||||||||||||
