Metabolite Identification
Common NameL-Targinine
DescriptionL-Targinine, also known as L-NMMA or targinina, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as arginine and derivatives. Arginine and derivatives are compounds containing arginine or a derivative thereof resulting from reaction of arginine at the amino group or the carboxy group, or from the replacement of any hydrogen of glycine by a heteroatom. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on L-Targinine.
