The concentrations of guanidino compounds in blood are raised in uraemic patients and may have toxic effects. The concentrations of 13 guanidino compounds in serum were measured in 29 patients with chronic renal failure treated by chronic intermittent haemodialysis using liquid cation exchange chromatography with a highly sensitive fluorescence detection method. For taurocyamine we used another column system. Substantial increases in guanidinosuccinic acid, creatine, N-alpha-acetylarginine, creatinine, guanidine and methylguanidine were found. The values obtained for taurocyamine and beta-guanidinoproprionic acid were much lower than those reported by others: a much smaller increase was observed for beta-guanidinoproprionic acid and taurocyamine was only doubled in 4 of 29 uraemic patients. The concentrations of other guanidino compounds such as arginine and guanidinoacetic acid were normal. No differences were found between the polycystic renal disease, the chronic glomerulonephritis and the interstitial nephritis subgroups.

This study focuses on the stereoselective syntheses of 1-deoxysphingosine analogues as potential inhibitors of sphingosine kinase (SphK), particularly targeting its isoforms SphK1 and SphK2, which are implicated in cancer progression and therapy resistance. The research builds on previous work by designing a series of analogues featuring systematic structural modifications like the incorporation of a triazole ring, varying degrees of fluorination, and different head groups (, guanidino, -methylamino, and ,-dimethylamino). These modifications aimed to enhance polar and hydrophobic interactions especially with SphK2.

Transmembrane Serine Protease 2 (TMPRSS2) plays a critical role in tumorigenesis and progression, making its degradation a promising therapeutic strategy. In this study, we designed and synthesized TMPRSS2-PROTACs, including VPOT64 and VPOT76, based on camostat. Both compounds exhibited superior inhibitory effects on HT-29 colorectal and Calu-3 lung cancer cells compared to paclitaxel.

The recent discovery of guanidine-dependent riboswitches in many microbes raised interest in the biological function and metabolism of this nitrogen-rich compound. However, very little is known about the concentrations of guanidine in the environment. Several methods have been published for quantifying guanidine and guanidino compounds in human urine and blood, often relying on derivatization followed by fluorescence detection.

Article Synopsis
- Aromatic substitution can be enhanced by a prior redox reaction, specifically in redox-active aromatic compounds.
- Research highlights pathways for redox-induced substitution (RIAS) involving a redox-active guanidino-functionalized aromatic molecule (GFA) interacting with amines or guanidines.
- Oxidizing the GFA changes its role from a nucleophile to an electrophile, allowing for the creation of new N-heteropolycyclic structures and unsymmetrically-substituted aromatic compounds in synthetic chemistry.
