TMG, also known as betaine, is an amino acid that supports the body's methylation processes
In another embodiment of the invention, lysosomal storage diseases (LSDs) are treated with one of the following targeted drugs or compounds based on drugs and compounds that cause reduction of lysosomal stored materials like glucocerebroside, sphingomyelin, ceramide, G Ml -ganglioside, G M2 -ganglioside, globoside, galactosylceramide, dermatan sulfate, heparan sulfate, keratan sulfate, sulfatides, mucopolysaccharides, sialyloligosaccharides, glycoproteins, sialyloligosaccharides, glycolipids, globotriaosylceramide, O-linked glycopeptides, glycogen, free sialic acid, fucoglyco lipids, fucosyloligosaccharides, mannosyloligosaccharides, aspartylglucosamine, cholesteryl esters, triglycerides, and ceroid lipofuscin pigments in lysosomal storage diseases, like Gaucher disease (stored glucocerebroside) using targeted enzyme replacement therapy with beta-glucocerebrosidase (e.g., imiglucerase (Cerezyme marketed by Genzyme) or velalglucerase (in development by Shire), gene- activated beta-glucocerebrosidase, or with substrate inhibition of glucosylceramide synthase with imino sugars (e.g., miglustat (Zavesca marketed by Actelion) = N-butyl- deoxynojirimycin (NB-DNJ), N-butyl-galactosyl-deoxynojirimycin (NB-DGJ), N-(5- adamantane-1-yl-methoxypentyl)- deoxynojirimycin (AMP-DNJ), N-(5-adamantane-l- yl-methhoxy-pentyl)deoxynojirimycin (AMP-DNM), or with Glucosylceramide analogs (e.g., Genz 112638: d-threo-ethylendioxyphenyl-2-palmitoylamino-3- pyrrilidino-propanol), or with chaperone therapy (e.g., isofagomine tartrate, AT2101, (to be marketed as Plicera by Amicus Therapeutics, chemical name: (3R, 4R, 5R)- 3,4-Dihydroxy-5-hydroxymethyl-piperidine)
