Methionine methyl ester (MME) is a derivative of the essential amino acid methionine. It is a colorless, crystalline solid with a faint odor. MME is synthesized by reacting methionine with methanol in the presence of a catalyst, such as hydrochloric acid. MME has been studied for its potential use as a therapeutic agent in a variety of conditions, including liver disease, cancer, and Alzheimer’s disease. It has been shown to have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, as well as the ability to protect against cell death. MME is also being investigated as a potential nutritional supplement, as it is thought to improve protein synthesis and muscle growth. Its importance lies in its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier and deliver methionine to the brain, where it is required for various metabolic processes, including neurotransmitter synthesis. Research focuses on its potential therapeutic applications, its bioavailability, and its effects on various biological systems. '
