Description:DL-Ethionine is a compound that is formed when the amino acid methionine is converted to ethionine. It has been shown to induce the formation of acid in the liver and pancreas, which can lead to pancreatitis. Experimental models have shown that DL-ethionine causes liver injury by inhibiting tissue repair mechanisms, such as the polymerase chain reaction. This inhibition prevents DNA synthesis, leading to cell death. The mechanism of DL-ethionine induced toxicity is currently being investigated.
