Metabolism of 5-S-cyteinyldopa by O-methylation.
5-S-cysteinyldopa is metabolized by O-methylation on incubation with a liver extract and S-adenosyl methionine. O-methylated 5-S-cysteinyldopa isolated from melanoma urines by ion exchange and paper chromatography was identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and NMR.
