N-Acetyl-DL-methionine(CAT: M051264) is an acetylated derivative of the sulfur-containing amino acid methionine, with the molecular formula C₇H₁₃NO₃S. It appears as a white to off-white crystalline powder and is soluble in water and polar organic solvents. The acetylation of the amino group enhances its stability and modifies its reactivity, making it a useful intermediate in peptide synthesis, biochemical research, and pharmaceutical formulation. It is employed in studies of amino acid metabolism, oxidative stress, and protein modification. Additionally, N-acetyl-DL-methionine can serve as a protected form of methionine for controlled release in nutritional and therapeutic applications.
