| Description | Methylguanidine (MG) is a guanidine in which one of the amino hydrogens of guanidine itself is substituted by a methyl group. Methylguanidine is a guanidine compound deriving from protein catabolism. It is also a product of putrefaction. Methylguanidine has a role as a metabolite, an EC 1.14.13.39 (Nitric oxide synthase) inhibitor and as a uremic toxin. It has been identified as a uremic toxin according to the European Uremic Toxin Working Group (PMID: 22626821 ). It accumulates in renal failure, however it also exhibits anti-inflammatory effects. Methylguanidine is synthesized from creatinine concomitant with the synthesis of hydrogen peroxide from endogenous substrates in peroxisomes. Recent evidence suggests that methylguanidine significantly inhibits iNOS activity and TNF- release. This means that methylguandine can attenuate the degree of inflammation and tissue damage associated with endotoxic shock. |
