Description

L-Arginine a-ketoglutarate (1:1) is a water soluble compound that is used as a precursor for the synthesis of polyamines. It is also an intermediate in the urea cycle and can be used to synthesize glutamate, glutamine, and argininosuccinic acid. L-Arginine a-ketoglutarate (1:1) has been shown to improve myocardial function and reduce infarct size in animal models. This drug has also been shown to augment neuroprotective properties of metoprolol succinate on cerebellar Purkinje neurons in vitro. The degradation of L-arginine a-ketoglutarate (1:1) by monoamine oxidase B produces hydrogen peroxide, which may be responsible for its cardioprotective effects.
