Guanidinoethyl sulfonate (Standard) is the analytical standard of Guanidinoethyl sulfonate. This product is intended for research and analytical applications. Guanidinoethyl sulfonate is an orally available, blood-brain permeable competitive inhibitor of taurine transporters and a competitive antagonist of glycine receptors (GlyR) (IC50=565 microM). Guanidinoethyl sulfonate has both weak agonist and antagonist effects on GABAA receptors. Guanidinoethyl sulfonate inhibits taurine transmembrane transport and competitively binds to the GlyR ligand binding domain, thereby blocking glycine-mediated chloride influx, and may regulate brain pH to exert neuroprotective effects. Guanidinoethyl sulfonate can be used for neuroprotection studies of ischemic brain injury[1][2][3].
