Description

Guanidinoethyl sulfonate is a prodrug that is hydrolyzed by esterases to taurine and guanidine. It has been shown to have physiological effects, such as cardiotonic and antiarrhythmic properties. Guanidinoethyl sulfonate also inhibits the synthesis of basic proteins in cardiac tissue, which may be due to its ability to inhibit energy metabolism. Guanidinoethyl sulfonate is able to bind to the cell nucleus and cause lysis in cells from a variety of species. This compound has been shown to be non-toxic at high concentrations when used for titration calorimetry experiments on human serum.
