Argpyrimidine（Cat No.:M038620）, specifically in its TFA (trifluoroacetic acid) salt form, is a chemically synthesized molecule resulting from the reaction between arginine and methylglyoxal. This compound is a type of advanced glycation end-product (AGE), which is significant in medical research due to its implications in aging and chronic diseases such as diabetes and Alzheimer’s disease. Argpyrimidine is particularly noteworthy for its fluorescent properties, making it useful in biomedical research for tracking and studying AGE formation and accumulation in tissues. The TFA salt form enhances its solubility, facilitating its use in various experimental settings.
