General description

Formation of complexes of methyl thioacetate and copper(II) has been investigated. (Methylthio)acetic acid is an irreversible inhibitor of sarcosine oxidase and is effective in preventing the complete enzyme inactivation during modification.

Application

(Methylthio)acetic acid may be used in the synthesis of (5S,6S,8S)-8-acetoxy-6-(3,4-methylenedioxyphenyl)-1-[(methylthio)-acetyl]-1-azaspiro[4.4]nonane.

The determination of creatinine levels in biological fluids is an increasingly important clinical requirement. Amperometric biosensors have been developed based on a three-enzyme system which converts creatinine to amperometrically measurable hydrogen peroxide. The development of the amperometric creatinine biosensor has
