Metabolite Identification
Common NameN-Methyl-DL-alanine
DescriptionN-Methyl-DL-alanine belongs to the class of organic compounds known as alanine and derivatives. Alanine and derivatives are compounds containing alanine or a derivative thereof resulting from reaction of alanine at the amino group or the carboxy group, or from the replacement of any hydrogen of glycine by a heteroatom. N-Methyl-DL-alanine is a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa). This compound has been identified in human blood as reported by (PMID: 31557052 ). N-methyl-dl-alanine is not a naturally occurring metabolite and is only found in those individuals exposed to this compound or its derivatives. Technically N-Methyl-DL-alanine is part of the human exposome. The exposome can be defined as the collection of all the exposures of an individual in a lifetime and how those exposures relate to health. An individual's exposure begins before birth and includes insults from environmental and occupational sources.
