Carcinine hydrochloride salt

Description:
Carcinine is a natural compound that inhibits the activities of enzymes involved in energy metabolism, including carnosine, which is a dipeptide found in muscle and brain tissue. Carnosine has been shown to be effective against eye disorders such as glaucoma and optic nerve degeneration, as well as cardiac effects. Carcinine has also been shown to inhibit histamine release, which may be due to its ability to suppress the activation of toll-like receptor 4 by lipopolysaccharides or its ability to inhibit the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Carcinine hydrochloride salt is a model system for studying carcinine’s interactions with carnosine in vivo and in vitro.
