R,S-(5′-Adenosyl)-L-methionine p-toluenesulfonate salt combines the bioactive molecule S-Adenosylmethionine (SAMe) with p-toluenesulfonate (tosylate) to enhance its stability and solubility. SAMe itself is a critical biomolecule found in all living cells, where it serves as a major methyl donor in a variety of methylation reactions, essential for numerous metabolic processes. R,S-(5′-Adenosyl)-L-methionine p-toluenesulfonate salt is used in studies investigating the biochemical pathways influenced by SAMe and in exploring its potential applications. SAMe is of interest in epigenetics, where changes in DNA methylation patterns can affect gene expression and phenotype. Moreover, the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory roles of compounds synthesized through SAMe-dependent pathways make this molecule relevant in studies on oxidative stress and inflammation.
