Description

General description

L-Arginine is an amino acid that plays a key role in many physiological processes such as tissue repair and reproduction. It is a key precursor for synthesizing nitric oxide in mammals. Due to these factors, the dietary supplementation with L-arginine may show a range of health benefits.

Application

Metabolomic approaches to dissect dysregulated metabolism in the progression of pre-diabetes to T2DM.: This study employs L-Arginine to examine metabolic changes during the transition from pre-diabetes to type 2 diabetes mellitus, offering new targets for early intervention (Ji et al., 2024 Jun). Link to the article.

Amino acid profile alteration in age-related atrial fibrillation.: Investigates the role of L-Arginine in cardiovascular aging, highlighting its potential in developing therapeutic strategies against atrial fibrillation associated with aging (Huang et al., 2024 Mar). Link to the article.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Substrate of nitric oxide synthase, which is converted to citrulline and nitric oxide (NO). Induces insulin release by a nitric oxide-dependent mechanism.

European journal of medicinal chemistry, 45(11), 5474-5479 (2010-08-21)

A new series of 3-(benzylideneamino)-2-phenylquinazoline-4(3H)-ones were prepared through Schiff base formation of 3-amino-2-phenyl quinazoline-4(3)H-one with various substituted carbonyl compounds. Their chemical structures were elucidated by spectral studies. Cytotoxicity and antiviral activity were evaluated against herpes simplex virus-1 (KOS), herpes simplex
