Betaine is a methyl derivative of glycine first isolated from the juice of sugar beets. Betaine is found in many common foods, but concentrated significantly in beets, spinach, wheat foods, and shellfish. In addition, betaine can be synthesized within the human body. Betaine participates in the methionine cycle, which produces vital biomolecules including proteins, hormones, phospholipids, polyamines, and nutrients. Betaine is used as a dietary supplement and has a beneficial effect on the human health. In the USA, FDA approved a betaine-containing drug Cystadane for the treatment of homocystinuria. The drug acts as a methyl group donor in the remethylation of homocysteine to methionine.

Homocystinuria 3 Sources: https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/drugsatfda_docs/label/2010/020576s010lbl.pdf	Primary		Approved 8429	CYSTADANE Approved Use Cystadane is a methylating agent indicated for the treatment of homocystinuria to decrease elevated homocysteine blood levels. Included within the category of homocystinuria are Cystathionine beta-synthase (CBS) deficiency, 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) deficiency, Cobalamin cofactor metabolism (cbl) defect.

Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide

The usual dosage in adult and pediatric patients is 6 grams per day administered orally in divided doses of 3 grams twice daily. In pediatric patients less than 3 years of age, dosage may be started at 100 mg/kg/day divided in twice daily doses, and then increased weekly by 50 mg/kg increments.

Route of Administration: Oral

In Vitro Use Guide

HeLa cells were treated with 0.1, 1.0, 5.0, 20.0, 100.0 mg/ml of betaine to evaluate the anticancer efficacy of the compound. The percentage of S phase cells in the low dose groups (< 5mg/ml) were distinctly higher than in high dose groups, and the rates of Sub-G1 phase were the opposite. A high concentration of betaine (>5.0mg/ml) significantly promoted the apoptosis of HeLa cells.
