ToxicityThe Sethyl analog of methionine. It is a carcinogen and hepatotoxic agent once proposed as an antineoplastic agent. It inhibits the incorporation of methionine and glycine into proteins and substitutes for methionine in transmethylation reactions, the ethyl group appearing in the products in place of the methyl groups of methionine (e.g., ethylcholine is formed instead of choline). Ethionine is currently used only as an experimental compound in studies of hepatotoxicity and methionine metabolism and nutrition.

DL-ETHIONINE Usage And Synthesis
Chemical PropertiesOff-White Solid
Usesantineoplastic; inhibitor DNA methylation
UsesDL-Ethionine is used as a dietary supplement to accelerate cholangiocarcinogenesis in vivo. It is also used to induce oxidative stress in liver to study the levels and activities of anti-oxidative enzymes and compounds such as glutathione.
DefinitionChEBI: A non-proteinogenic alpha-amino acid that is methionine in which the S-methyl group is replaced by an S-ethyl group.
General DescriptionWhite crystalline flakes.
Air & Water ReactionsSlightly soluble in water.
Reactivity ProfileA synthetic thio-substituted amino acid.
Health HazardACUTE/CHRONIC HAZARDS: When heated to decomposition DL-ETHIONINE emits toxic fumes of NOx and SOx.
Fire HazardFlash point data for DL-ETHIONINE are not available; however, DL-ETHIONINE is probably combustible.
Biochem/physiol ActionsDL-Ethionine is a racemic mixture of the anti-methylation agent L-Ethionine and its enantiomer D-Ethionine. DL-Ethionine is used as a dietary supplement to accelerate cholangiocarcinogenesis in vivo. DL-Ethionine is used to induce oxidative stress in liver to study the levels and activities of anti-oxidative enzymes and compounds such as glutathione.
Safety ProfileMddly toxic by ingestion and intraperitoneal routes. Suspected carcinogen with experimental carcinogenic and tumorigenic data. An experimental teratogen. Experimental reproductive effects. Mutation data reported. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of SOx and NOx.
