Biotin sulfone is initially discovered as a naturally occurring metabolite derived from biotin. Biotin, a growth factor found in trace amounts in all living cells, plays an essential role in various carboxylation reactions. Biotin sulfone acts as an inhibitor of biotin-dependent enzymes, including acetyl-CoA carboxylase, which is involved in fatty acid synthesis. Studies have shown the inhibitory effect of biotin sulfone on this enzyme. Moreover, biotin sulfone has shown interactions with other biotin-dependent enzymes like propionyl-CoA carboxylase and pyruvate carboxylase.
