Homo-L-arginine
L-homoarginine, also known as N6-(aminoiminomethyl)-L-lysine or N6-amidino-L-lysine, is a member of the class of compounds known as L-alpha-amino acids. L-alpha-amino acids are alpha amino acids which have the L-configuration of the alpha-carbon atom. More specifically, L-homoarginine is a naturally occurring, non-proteinogenic, cationic amino acid. It is formed in the liver in a reaction catalyzed by L-arginine:glycine amidinotransferase (AGAT) when transferring the amidino group from arginine to lysine. It is an alternative substrate for nitric oxide (NO) synthase. L-homoarginine increases the availability of NO and thereby affects endothelial function. High homoarginine levels may exert positive actions that are relevant to cardiovascular health, including enhanced endothelial function, inhibition of platelet aggregation and stimulation of insulin secretion (PMID: 30866658). Recent studies have demonstrated that low serum homoarginine levels are a strong predictor of cardiovascular mortality (PMID: 24583919). L-homoarginine is a substrate of the human cationic amino acid CAT1 [solute carrier family 7 (SLC7A1)], CAT2A (SLC7A2A) or CAT2B (SLC7A2B) (PMID: 28684763). According to published human metabolomic data, L-homoarginine can be found primarily in blood, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and urine, as well as in human intestinal and testes tissues. Moreover, L-homoarginine has been found to be associated with liver cirrhosis and the genetic disorder, hyperargininemia. Homoarginine is an organ-specific uncompetitive inhibitor of human liver and bone alkaline phosphohydrolase (PMID: 5063678). H-HoArg-OH, a homologue arginine, is a strong inhibitor of human bone and liver alkaline phosphatase.
Homoarginine
An L-lysine derivative that is the L-enantiomer of homoarginine. Homoarginine is a guanidino compounds of guanidinoethanesulfonic acid. It is an organ-specific uncompetitive inhibitor of human liver and bone alkaline phosphohydrolase. (PMID 5063678). L-Homoarginine is found in grass pea. H-HoArg-OH, a homologue arginine, is a strong inhibitor of human bone and liver alkaline phosphatase.
Maackiain
Widespread in the Leguminosae subfamily. Constituent of Trifolium pratense (red clover). (-)-Maackiain is found in many foods, some of which are nectarine, chickpea, alaska blueberry, and adzuki bean. (-)-Maackiain is a pterocarpan phytoalexin produced from Sophora flavescens.
