D-Lysine-d₄ dihydrochloride

D-Lysine-d₄ dihydrochloride is the d₄-labeled D-Lysine (HY-Y1091). D-Lysine is the D-enantiomer of L-Lysine (HY-N0469). D-Lysine is metabolically inert and not utilized for protein synthesis by mammalian ribosomes. D-Lysine blocks renal uptake of ¹¹¹In/⁹⁰Y-Octreotide (HY-P0036)-based probes without inhibiting uptake by tumor/receptor tissues, and thus acts as a renoprotective agent in diagnostic imaging and peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT). D-Lysine specifically inhibits the early steps of non-enzymatic glycation by competing with glucose via its free amino group, theoretically, it can serve as a glycation competitor that "does not interfere with protein synthesis" under chronic hyperglycemia in diabetes. D-Lysine can be used in research related to cancer and diabetes.
