2-AMINO-2-METHYLSUCCINIC ACID Usage And Synthesis

Uses

α-Methyl-DL-aspartic acid is a specific inhibitor of argininosuccinate synthase (ASS), and also is the rate-limiting enzyme for the recycling of 1-citrulline to 1-arginine[1].

in vivo

α-methyl-dl-aspartic acid (147 mg/kg, i.v.) can diminish the l-citrulline-induced retinal vasodilation in Wistar rats[1].

Animal Model:Wistar rats
Dosage:147 mg/kg
Administration:147 mg/kg, i.v.
Result:Attenuated the increase of retinal arteriolar diameter induced by L-citrulline.
