| Application: | Agmatine sulfate salt has been used:• to study its effects on nod-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome activation and cytokine responses in sub-chronic restraint stress rat models • as an N-methyl- • as a standard to determine the bioactive amines in vegetables by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Agmatine is a decarboxylated arginine that is present ubiquitously in all living organisms. It is found in food sources such as plant source food and animal products. It exhibits cryoprotective effects against several body functions such as nephroprotection, neuroprotection, gastroprotection, and cardioprotection. Agmatine also exhibits therapeutic effects against neurotrauma, neuropathic pain, diabetes, neurodegenerative diseases, and psychiatric diseases. It is involved in blocking many ionic channels such as ATP-sensitive K+ channels and voltage-gated Ca2+ channels. Agmatine modulates nitric oxide production and inhibits matrix metalloproteases. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Putative endogenous neurotransmitter at imidazoline receptors; displaces clonidine at α2-adrenergic and at imidazoline receptors; blocks NMDA-activated ion channels in hippocampal neurons. |
