Metabolite Identification
Common NameMethanesulfonic acid
DescriptionMesylate, also known as methanesulfonate or mesylic acid, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as organosulfonic acids. Organosulfonic acids are compounds containing the sulfonic acid group, which has the general structure RS(=O)2OH (R is not a hydrogen atom). Mesylate exists as a solid, possibly soluble (in water), and an extremely strong acidic compound (based on its pKa) molecule.
