Agmatine Sulfate CAS:2482-00-0 Manufacturer Supplier

Agmatine is an intermediate in the biosynthesis of the polyamines putrescine and spermine. Agmatine binds with high affinity to α2-adrenergic receptors and imidazoline binding sites and produces blockade of the NMDA-receptor associated cation channels. Agmatine is a competitive inhibitor of nitric oxide synthase activity owing to mimicry of the natural NOS substrate arginine.Agmatine Sulfate is a a polyamine derived from L-arginine (A769500) decarboxylation and is a known putative endogenous neurotransmitter at imidazoline receptors. Agmatine sulfate displaces clonidine a t α2-adrenergic and at imidazoline receptors and was recently shown to exert some neuroprotective effects.
