betaine
attenuates alcoholic steatosis by restoring phosphatidylcholine generation via the phosphatidylethanolamine methyltransferase pathway, the effect is enhanced by ethanol, which alone has no effect on expression levels of the enzyme, overview

enhances the inducing and protecting effects of betaine on the enzyme, alone has only a slightly activating effect on the enzyme activity, overview
1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium
-
enhances activity. S-Adenosylmethionine hypermethylation can be involved in the etiology of Parkinson‘s disease and an increase of phospholipid methylation could be one of the mechanisms by which 1-methyl-4-phenyl-pyridinium causes parkinsonism
