H-HomoArg-OH hydrochloride
Based on 1 Customer Validation
H-HomoArg-OH hydrochloride (L-Homoarginine hydrochloride) is an orally active endogenous non-protein amino acid. H-HomoArg-OH hydrochloride acts as a weak alternative substrate for NOS and interferes with NO production, selectively inhibits tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (TNAP), and suppresses the uptake of arginine by y+-type transporters (system y+). H-HomoArg-OH hydrochloride increases tissue hArg concentrations in vivo, regulates amino acid homeostasis, and improves renal function and pathological features of diabetic nephropathy. H-HomoArg-OH hydrochloride can be used in studies related to diabetes and cardiomyopathy.

Biological Activity
Description
In Vitro
H-HomoArg-OH.HCl (5-50 µM; 1 h) is not degraded by slices from male and female pig and rat tissues including small intestine, large intestine, liver, pancreas, spleen, heart, brain, kidney, skeletal muscle, white adipose tissue, thymus, mesenteric lymph nodes, skin, testes, and ovaries when incubated in the presence of physiological amino acid concentrations (excluding lysine)[3].

In Vivo
H-HomoArg-OH (10 mg/rat; i.p.; single bolus administration) hydrochloride causes an immediate and transient decrease in exocrine pancreatic secretion parameters in BPJ shunt rats, but exerts no effect on normal rats[1].
H-HomoArg-OH (19 g/kg diet; oral administration; daily; for 4 consecutive days) hydrochloride inhibits exocrine pancreatic hypertrophy and protease production in biliopancreatic jejunostomy (BPJ)-diverted rats induced by a high-protein diet[1].
The recovery rate of H-HomoArg-OH hydrochloride (1-10 mg/kg; p.o.; single administration) in the urine of healthy pigs and rats is approximately 95-96% of the oral dosage, indicating that the compound undergoes limited catabolism in vivo[3].
Supplementation with H-HomoArg-OH (50 mg/L; oral administration; ad libitum drinking; 12 weeks) or (0.72 mg/kg/day; subcutaneous injection; continuous infusion via mini-osmotic pump; 12 weeks) hydrochloride alleviates specific features of diabetic nephropathy in Ins2Akita mice, including reduction of albuminuria, improvement of glomerular injury, attenuation of inflammation and oxidative stress, and restoration of renal nitrate + nitrite levels[2].
H-HomoArg-OH hydrochloride (20-440 mg/kg; intraperitoneal injection; single bolus) dose-dependently increases tissue free hArg concentrations, regulates amino acid homeostasis, and shifts the reaction equilibrium catalyzed by AGAT without integrating into tissue proteins in isoproterenol-induced stress cardiomyopathy Sprague-Dawley rats[5].

Animal Model:Sprague-Dawley (male, 8 weeks old, 200-250 g, BPJ-diverted model)[1]
-
Dosage:10 mg/rat
-
Administration:i.p.; single bolus injection
-
Result:Produced an immediate, transient reduction in BPJ volume, protein secretion, chymotrypsin secretion, and trypsin secretion at 15 min post-injection in BPJ-diverted rats; values returned to baseline by 60-90 min post-injection.
Showed no effect on any pancreatic secretion parameters in normal rats.
-
Animal Model:Sprague-Dawley (male, ~220 g, BPJ-diverted model)[1]
-
Dosage:19 g/kg diet
-
Administration:p.o.; daily; 4 days
-
Result:Inhibited the high-protein (45% casein) diet-induced increase in pancreatic dry weight, pancreatic protein content, protein-DNA ratio, pancreatic chymotrypsin activity, and pancreatic trypsin activity; values for all these parameters were comparable to or lower than those seen in rats fed the 25% casein control diet.
Showed no effect on food intake, final body weight, or pancreatic DNA content.

Administration:i.p.; single bolus
-
Result:Correlated strongly with administered dose, with tissue-free hArg concentrations ranging from 3.8-444 µM across organs, showing strongest correlations in kidney, lung, and liver.
Showed free Lys concentrations ranging from 96-1138 µM across organs, with inverse dose-dependent changes between heart and kidney/liver; free Lys concentrations in heart decreased linearly over time, with estimated cardiac half-life of 69 min.
Showed free Arg concentrations ranging from 7.3-767 µM across organs, with linear decrease over time in heart and estimated cardiac half-life of 65 min.
Demonstrated free hArg and total (free + proteinic) hArg concentrations were nearly identical (21.2 [8-188] µM vs. 20.1 [9.4-164] µM) with strong correlation, indicating no incorporation into tissue proteins.
Changed equilibrium constants for AGAT-catalyzed reactions with dose and time: KhArg (Arg + Lys ↔ hArg + Orn) ranged from 0.002-20.3 across organs, highest in liver; KGAA (Arg + Gly ↔ GAA + Orn) ranged from 0.023-13.9 across organs, with antidromic changes in KhArg and KGAA observed in heart during 15-90 min window of isoprenaline presence.
Increased free GAA concentrations nearly 100-fold in heart and kidney, paralleling changes in free Lys.
Showed positive correlation between free hArg and sarcosine in heart.
