Sumatriptan is metabolised primarily by monoamine oxidase A into 2-{5-[(methylsulfamoyl)methyl]-indole-3-yl}acetic acid, which is then conjugated to glucuronic acid. These metabolites are excreted in the urine and bile. Only about 3% of the active drug may be recovered unchanged. [citation needed]
Methyl methanesulfonate (MMS), also known as methyl mesylate, is an alkylating agent and a carcinogen. It is also a suspected reproductive toxicant, and may also be a skin/sense organ toxicant. [ 1 ] It is used in cancer treatment.
The general formula is R−SO 2 NR'R" or R−S(=O) 2 −NR'R", where each R is some organic group; for example, "methanesulfonamide" (where R = methane, R' = R" = hydrogen) is CH 3 SO 2 NH 2. Any sulfonamide can be considered as derived from a sulfonic acid by replacing a hydroxyl group (−OH) with an amine group.
German chemist Hermann Kolbe discovered MSA between 1842 and 1845 and originally termed it methyl hyposulphuric acid. [ 4 ] [ 5 ] [ 6 ] The discovery stemmed from earlier work by Berzelius and Marcet in 1813, who treated carbon disulfide with moist chlorine and produced a compound they named "sulphite of chloride of carbon".
N-Methylformamide (NMF) is a colorless, nearly odorless, organic compound and secondary amide with molecular formula CH 3 NHCHO, which is a liquid at room temperature. NMF is mainly used as a reagent in various organic syntheses with limited applications as a highly polar solvent .
The third in the series of color developing agents used in developing color films, commonly known as CD-3, is chemically known as N-[2-[(4-Amino-3-methylphenyl)ethylamino]ethyl]methanesulfonamide Sesquisulfate Monohydrate. [1]
Methyl compounds are chemical compounds formally derived from methane by replacement of one hydrogen atom with other atoms or functional groups. Methyl compounds contain the methyl group , CH 3 , and have the general formula CH 3 X, where X is any chemical element or group.
It is also known by several other names including methyl sulfone and (especially in alternative medicine) methylsulfonylmethane (MSM). [4] This colorless solid features the sulfonyl functional group and is the simplest of the sulfones. It is relatively inert chemically and is able to resist decomposition at elevated temperatures.
