β-Guanidinopropionic acid

Description:

β-Guanidinopropionic acid (β-GPA) is an organic compound characterized by its guanidine functional group and a propionic acid backbone. It is a white crystalline solid that is soluble in water, making it suitable for various biochemical applications. β-GPA is known for its role as a creatine analog and is often studied for its potential effects on muscle metabolism and exercise performance. The compound acts as an inhibitor of creatine transport, which can influence energy metabolism in muscle cells. Additionally, β-GPA has been investigated for its potential neuroprotective properties and its role in modulating nitric oxide synthesis. Its chemical structure includes a guanidine group, which contributes to its basicity and reactivity. As a research chemical, β-GPA is primarily used in scientific studies rather than for commercial applications. Safety data indicates that, like many organic compounds, it should be handled with care, following appropriate safety protocols to minimize exposure and risk.

3-Guanidinopropionic acid

CAS: 353-09-3

3-Guanidinopropionic acid (3GP) is a disinfectant that has been shown to have a chronic oral toxicity. 3GP is also used as an additive in nutrient solutions and has antimicrobial properties. 3GP inhibits the production of ATP by binding to the atp-sensitive K+ channels, thereby blocking the influx of potassium ions into the cell. This process can lead to cardiac arrest. 3GP also has antimicrobial effects against many microorganisms, including Streptococcus pyogenes, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Escherichia coli.
