Mercaptoethylguanidine (MEG) (dihydrobromide)_product_DataBase

Bioactivity	Mercaptoethylguanidine (MEG) dihydrobromide is selective inhibitor of the inducible nitric oxide synthase and peroxynitrite scavenger. Mercaptoethylguanidine (MEG) dihydrobromide has the potential for inflammatory bowel diseases research.
In Vivo	Mercaptoethylguanidine (MEG; 10 mg/kg i.v. b. i.d.) dihydrobromide significantly reduces the appearance of diarrhea and the loss of body weight in male rats with colitis[1]. Mercaptoethylguanidine (10 mg/kg/day; ip; for 5 days) dihydrobromide ameliorates oxidative stress parameters and antioxidant enzyme activities in forty-five Sprague-Dawley rats weighing 200 to 250 g with esophagus uninjured[2].
