Antibiotics & Metabolites

Solution in 0.9% NaCl

Activity: Bioactive gut microbial metabolite . Function/Pharmacology: A microbial-mammalian host co-metabolite which increases with age1 and especially in extreme longevity2. Gut-microbiota-dependent PAG is associated with cardiovascular disease pathogenesis3 via action at adrenergic receptors4. Plasma PAG levels may be a valuable indicator for predicting coronary in-stent restenosis.5 Chemical Name: (S)-5-Amino-5-oxo-2-(2-phenylacetamido)pentanoic acid
