Guanidinoethyl sulfonate (Standard)

Guanidinoethyl sulfonate (Standard) is the analytical standard of Guanidinoethyl sulfonate. This product is intended for research and analytical applications. Guanidinoethyl sulfonate is an orally available, blood-brain permeable competitive inhibitor of taurine transporters and a competitive antagonist of glycine receptors (GlyR) (IC50=565 μM) . Guanidinoethyl sulfonate has both weak agonist and antagonist effects on GABAA receptors. Guanidinoethyl sulfonate inhibits taurine transmembrane transport and competitively binds to the GlyR ligand binding domain, thereby blocking glycine-mediated chloride influx, and may regulate brain pH to exert neuroprotective effects. Guanidinoethyl sulfonate can be used for neuroprotection studies of ischemic brain injury[1][2][3].
