Abstract

The use of N-acetyl-l-methionine (NAM) as a bio-available source for methionine supplementation as well as its ability to reduce the toxicity of acetaminophen poisoning has been reported. Its interaction with the complex physiological matrix, however, has not been thoroughly investigated. This manuscript reports on the kinetics and mechanism of oxidation of NAM by acidic iodate and aqueous iodine. Oxidation of NAM proceeds by a two electron transfer process resulting in formation of a sole product: N-acetyl-l-methionine sulfoxide (NAMS=O). Data from electrospray ionization mass spectrometry confirmed the product of oxidation as NAMS=O. The stoichiometry of the reaction was deduced to be IO₃^– + 3NAM → I^– + 3NAMS=O. In excess iodate, the stoichiometry was deduced to be 2IO₃^– + 5NAM + 2H⁺ → I₂ + 5NAMS=O + H₂O. The reaction between aqueous iodine and NAM gave a 1 : 1 stoichiometric ratio: NAM + I₂ + H₂O → NAMS=O + 2I^– + H⁺. This reaction was relatively rapid when compared with that between NAM and iodate. It did, however, exhibit some auto-inhibitory effects through the formation of triiodide (I₃^–) which is a relatively inert electrophile when compared with aqueous iodine. A simple mechanism containing 11 reactions gave a reasonably good fit to the experimental data.
