Vitamin U (S-Methylmethionine sulfonium) chloride is an orally active anti-ulcer agent with antioxidant activity. Vitamin U inhibits adipocyte differentiation. Vitamin U promotes skin wound healing.Vitamin U can be used in the research of gastrointestinal ulceration.
Vitamin U chloride (100 μM, 24 h) promotes the growth and migration of human dermal fibroblasts(hDFs)[1]. Vitamin U chloride (0-1 mM, 24 h) activates ERK1/2 in hDFs[1]. Vitamin U chloride (0.1 g/L in the nutrient solution) reduces cell membrane damage in higher plants exposed to low-temperature stress[2]. Vitamin U chloride (10-100 mM, 7 days) inhibits adipocyte differentiation via down-regulation of adipogenic factors and up-regulation of AMPK activity[3].
Vitamin U chloride (50 mg/kg, oral gavage) prevents valproic acid-induced liver injury in rats[4]. Vitamin U chloride (50 mg/kg, oral gavage for 3 days) shows antioxidant effect and prevents GalN-induced gastric damage in rats[5].
