Description of L-Methionine-(S,R)-Sulfoximine

L-Methionine-(S,R)-Sulfoximine is a potent and irreversible inhibitor of glutamine synthetase (GS)[1-2]. By inhibiting the activity of glutamine synthetase, L-Methionine-(S,R)-Sulfoximine blocks the synthesis of glutamine, thereby affecting cellular nitrogen metabolism. L-Methionine-(S,R)-Sulfoximine is also a convulsant that primarily affects the metabolism and morphology of astrocytes, and can be used as a research model for convulsions and related neurological disorders[3-4].

In vitro, L-Methionine-(S,R)-Sulfoximine (25-75μM) is used for routine passage culture of GS-CHOK1SV cell lines. By inhibiting the activities of glutamine synthetase (GS) and glutamylcysteine ligase (GCL), L-Methionine-(S,R)-Sulfoximine induces endoplasmic reticulum stress and oxidative stress, thereby upregulating the protein expression of the GCL catalytic subunit (GCLc) and the mRNA level of the regulatory subunit (GCLm), enhancing the specific production rate of recombinant monoclonal antibodies (mAb) and the antibody concentration in the harvest[5]. In Klebsiella aerogenes, L-Methionine-(S,R)-Sulfoximine (0.001–100mM) exhibits strong growth inhibition against the MK-275 mutant lacking glutamate dehydrogenase (gltD), with the mechanism involving irreversible inhibition of glutamine synthetase activity and blockade of the glutamine synthesis pathway[6].

In vivo, L-Methionine-(S,R)-Sulfoximine (75mg/kg; intraperitoneal injection) administered to 8-10-week-old C57BL/6J and CBA/J mice induces rapid epileptic seizures in the highly responsive CBA/J strain; whereas in the low-responsive C57BL/6J strain, L-Methionine-(S,R)-Sulfoximine causes delayed epileptic seizures, with significantly elevated brain glycogen content prior to seizure onset[7]. L-Methionine-(S,R)-Sulfoximine (1mmol/kg; intraperitoneal injection) administered to AH/J strain mice (observed 2-6 hours post-injection) induces epileptic seizures in mice and significantly inhibits glutamine synthetase activity in the brain and liver [8].

Protocol of L-Methionine-(S,R)-Sulfoximine

Cell experiment [1]:

Cell lines

Klebsiella aerogenesstrains (MK-247 wild-type, MK-189 gltSmutant lacking glutamate synthetase, and MK-275 gltDmutant lacking glutamate dehydrogenase)

Preparation Method

Bacterial strains were cultured in glucose minimal medium at 37°C. Cells were harvested during exponential growth (100 ± 5Klett units), washed, and stored as pellets. Cell-free extracts were prepared by sonication in imidazole buffer (pH=7.15) containing MnCl₂ and mercaptoethanol. L-Methionine-(S,R)-Sulfoximine was tested at concentrations ranging from 0.001mM to 100mM in enzyme assays. For growth inhibition studies, L-Methionine-(S,R)-Sulfoximine was added to cultures at 1–100mM.

Reaction Conditions

0.001-100mM; 24–72 hours

Applications

L-Methionine-(S,R)-Sulfoximine significantly inhibited the activity of both glutamine synthetase (GS) and glutamate synthetase (GltS) in K. aerogenes. Growth of the glutamate dehydrogenase-deficient mutant (MK-275) was strongly inhibited by L-Methionine-(S,R)-Sulfoximine, whereas the wild-type (MK-247) and glutamate synthetase-deficient mutant (MK-189) were resistant.

Animal experiment [2]:

Animal models

AH/J and C57BL/6J mice

Preparation Method

Mice were intraperitoneally administered a single dose of L-Methionine-(S,R)-Sulfoximine (1.0mmol/kg body weight) dissolved in Earle's balanced salt solution. Mice were sacrificed 2 to 6 hours after injection for brain and liver tissue analysis. Glutamine synthetase activity was determined using the γ-glutamylhydroxamate method on tissue homogenates.

Dosage form

1.0mmol/kg; i.p.; Single injection.

Applications

L-Methionine-(S,R)-Sulfoximine administration induced convulsions in mice (onset at approximately 140-150 minutes) and significantly inhibited brain and liver glutamine synthetase activity.
