Description

Arginine methyl ester is a synthetic derivative of the amino acid arginine, modified by the addition of a methyl ester group. It is a commonly used substrate for various enzymatic studies, particularly those involving arginine-specific enzymes like protein arginine methyltransferases (PRMTs). These enzymes play crucial roles in various cellular processes including gene expression, signal transduction, and DNA replication. Arginine methyl ester is employed in the study of PRMT activity, substrate specificity, and inhibitor design. It is also used as a building block for the synthesis of more complex arginine-containing molecules. The compound is available commercially and readily synthesizable. Studies have indicated that arginine methyl ester exhibits various pharmacological activities, including anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer effects. However, its therapeutic potential is still under investigation.'

" The present data suggest that the oxidative stress and reduced bioavailability of nitric oxide may contribute to attenuation of vasodilator responses to ACh and Ang II, and hyperreactivity to Ang II in the mesentery of preeclamptic rat, which may contribute to the increased peripheral vascular resistance and BP, as well as intrauterine growth restriction in L-NAME-induced PE."( Differential responses of mesenteric arterial bed to vasoactive substances in L-NAME-induced preeclampsia: Role of oxidative stress and endothelial dysfunction.
