Alias L-Arg, (S)-(+)-Arginine

L-Arginine (L-Arg) is a substrate of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS). L-Arginine is transported to vascular smooth muscle cells via a family of cationic amino acid transporters and is metabolized to nitric oxide, polyamines, or L-proline. L-Arginine is a potent vasodilator and can be used to induce experimental acute pancreatitis.

Product Introduction

L-Arginine AI Summary
L-Arginine exhibits a diverse range of bioactivities significant for various biochemical and biomedical research areas. It is a potent inhibitor of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) with Km values of 2200.0 nM for inducible NOS, 900.0 nM for endothelial NOS, and 1600.0 nM for neuronal NOS, suggesting the potential for modulation of nitric oxide production. It shows bioactivity in improving in vivo blood glucose levels in insulin-resistant KKAy mice, evidencing its therapeutic potential in metabolic disorders. The compound demonstrates inhibitory action against hairpin ribozyme cleavage, NO-releasing ability, interaction with tryptase, and formation of advanced glycation end products. It exhibits antiviral activity against feline herpes virus and feline coronavirus in cat CRFK cells, with EC50 values of 1.6 µg/mL and 2.6 µg/mL respectively. Additionally, it shows protective effects in Wistar rat liver against ischemia-reperfusion injury and has an antinociceptive effect in mice. L-Arginine has activity related to the regulation of defensive enzymes in plants, upregulating beta-1,3-glucanase and chitinase to mitigate tomato fruit gray mold disease. It demonstrates agonist activity at mouse GPRC6A and exhibits inhibition and substrate activity at human LAT1, a transporter involved in amino acid uptake. In terms of enzyme inhibition, it inhibits HDAC6 and exhibits moderate inhibition of CYP3A4. With a high partition coefficient (logP=4.25), it has shown low potential for drug-induced liver injury, making it a safer candidate for therapeutic development. These collective activities suggest that L-Arginine holds promise for various clinical and agricultural applications..

Disease Modeling Protocol
Gastric ulcer model
  • Modeling Mechanism:

    L-Arginine, as a substrate of nitric oxide synthase (NOS), can dilate blood vessels in the gastric mucosa, increase blood flow, and at the same time reduce myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity, reduce inflammatory infiltration, and promote ulcer healing.

  • Related Products:

    L-Arginine (T3S0364)

  • Modeling Method:

    Experimental Subject:

    Mice, Swiss Albino mice, Male, 6-8 weeks old, 25-30g

    Dosage and Administration Route:

    Indomethacin 18 mg/kg, Oral (single dose, ulcer induction);Resveratrol 10 mg/kg, Oral (starting 6 hours post-ulcer induction, once daily); L-Arginine hydrochloride 25-75 mg/kg, Intraperitoneal injection (administered concurrently with resveratrol, once daily)

    Dosing Frequency and Duration Model:

    Indomethacin single dose, resveratrol and L-arginine administered once daily until ulcer healing (maximum 15 days).

  • Validation:

    The ulcer damage score (DS) decreased, with the L-Arginine 75 mg/kg group showing significant improvement compared to the resveratrol group; MPO activity decreased, and inflammatory cell infiltration was reduced; NO synthesis in gastric tissue increased, and the eNOS/iNOS ratio increased; PGE₂ synthesis gradually recovered, and ulcer mucosal healing was accelerated.

*Precautions: All mice were sacrificed in batches at 1, 4, 7, and 15 days after modeling, and gastric tissue samples were collected simultaneously. Mice were fasted for 24 hours before indomethacin induction (with free access to water).

*References:Guha P, et,al. Pro-ulcer effects of resveratrol in mice with indomethacin-induced gastric ulcers are reversed by L-arginine. Br J Pharmacol. 2010 Feb 1;159(3):726-34.

Pancreatitis model
  • Modeling Mechanism:

    L-Arginin is metabolized to produce a large amount of nitric oxide (NO). NO reacts with oxygen free radicals to produce toxic peroxynitrite, which damages pancreatic acinar cells. At the same time, it interferes with the secretion of pancreatic enzymes, leading to pancreatic tissue edema, necrosis and inflammatory infiltration, which in turn indirectly damages the intestinal mucosal barrier and causes intestinal flora imbalance.

  • Related Products:

    L-Arginine (T3S0364)

  • Modeling Method:

    Experimental Subject:

    Mouse, C57BL/6J, Male, 20–22 g, 6–8 weeks old

    Dosage and Administration Route:

    4 g/kg, 10% L-Arginine, dissolved in distilled water and administered intraperitoneally

    Dosing Frequency and Duration Model:

    Administered twice at 1-hour intervals

  • Validation:

    Serum lipase activity was significantly increased, calcium ion concentration was significantly decreased, and pancreatic MPO expression was upregulated; small intestinal villus necrosis, edema, and inflammatory cell infiltration were observed, and Occludin and ZO-1 expression was decreased; the richness and diversity of the gut microbiota decreased, with increased abundance of Bacteroidetes and Proteobacteria and decreased abundance of Firmicutes.

*Precautions: Seventy-two hours after modeling, the mice were anesthetized and euthanized by cervical dislocation.
