Disclosed are liposoluble salts of S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) with acylated derivatives of taurine. These new SAM salts have the following formula: SAMn + [R-CO-NH- (CH2) 2-SO-3] n, where R-CO is a C1-C26 acyl, saturated or unsaturated, linear or branched or alternatively with substitution cycloalkyl, and n is 3 to 6 depending on the load of SAM. The SAM salts described are stable, non-hygroscopic, liposoluble, non-toxic and extremely bioavailable, and can be used for the preparation of pharmaceutical or cosmetic compositions. |
