          Background

          Ademetionine (S-adenosylmethionine; SAMe) is a naturally occurring metabolite present in all cells and biological fluids, and acts as a methyl donor in a variety of methylation reactions involving proteins, phospholipids, catecholamines and DNA. Ademetionine exhibits antidepressant activity associated with increases in brain monoamine neurotransmitters and improvement in muscarinic and β-adrenergic receptor functions. In addition, preliminary studies imply that ademetionine exhibits therapeutic potential in the treatment of other central nervous system disorders including dementia, acquired immune deficiency syndrome-associated myelopathy, as well as brain ischemia.
