Product Data
Biological target:
S-methylglutathione has inhibitory effect on glyoxalase 1.
In vitro activity:
To be determined
In vivo activity:
Glutathione and its derivative S-methylglutathione have sedative and hypnotic effects, and might be effective in improving psychic stress, such as anxiety. After intracerebroventricular injection in neonatal chicks, this study found that S-methylglutathione did not form a disulfide bond due to the methylation of the SH group of the cysteine moiety. S-methylglutathione had similar effects as observed in reduced and oxidized glutathione. Reference: Neurosci Lett. 2007 May 11;418(1):87-91. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17368722/
