SummaryThe authors have reviewed 13 published studies on methionine administration, usually in combination with a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI), to chronically psychotic patients, using modern (DSM-III) diagnostic criteria. Four of these studies contained sufficient descriptive data to allow reappraisal of the effects. The results of the review suggest that a proportion of the patients experienced the induction of a manic episode/antidepressant effects rather than the reported worsening of schizophrenia while treated with a methionine-MAOI combination. It is suggested that these observations are consistent with recent findings that S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAMe) has antidepressant and mania-inducing effects.

One Year

The development of the first effective antidepressants in the late 1950s marked a turning point in the treatment of depressive illness. In 1957 the monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) iproniazid was discovered by chance, while searching for new antituberculous drugs. One year later the tricyclic antidepressant (TCA) imipramine was introduced, having been developed originally as an antipsychotic. A number of other drugs were subsequently added to these two groups of antidepressants, which dominated the field for the next three decades.

Low Activity

Labelled tyramine glucuronide was synthesized in vitro from UDP-[14C]glucuronic acid, [14C]tyramine or [3H]tyramine. The glucuronidation was carried out at pH9.2 in the presence of a monoamine oxidase inhibitor, trans-2-phenylcyclopropylamine. The Km values for tyramine were 69 and 125 micrometer and those for UDP-glucuronic acid were 260 and 290 micrometer respectively for guinea-pig and rat liver microsomal preparatons. The specific activities of microsomal glucuronyltransferase measured in fresh hepatic preparations of guinea pig, mouse and rat were respectively 601, 251 and 235 pmol of [14C]tyramine glucuronide/min per mg of protein. Increase in activity ranged from 2- to 6-fold in preparations which were frozen and thawed once and 5.4- to 10-fold when the freezing and thawing was repeated. Rabbit liver has very low activity, and monkey liver and intestine were completely devoid of this conjugating capacity.
