Description

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.
