<p>A solution of one or two molecules of aminoguanidine or other hydrazine type compound incubated with an Amadori product (1-propylamine-1-deoxy-D-fructose) under physiological conditions proceeds through the reactive intermediate 1-propylamino-1, 4-dideoxyosone to form the corresponding triazine and the dehydrazone of 1,4-dideoxyglucosone, respectively. The triazine and dehydrazone products are useful as macrophage stimulants to activate a macrophage to effect removal of advanced glycosylation end products (AGEs). Additionally, they can be used in a variety of investigative methods in an effort to measure the extent of nonenzymatic glycosylation of a protein sample wherein aminoguanidine or other hydrazine-type compound is or was present during the glycosylation process.</p> |
