Biochem/physiol Actions

8-Aminoguanine, a guanine derivative, is an orally available and highly efficacious potassium-sparing diuretic/natriuretic that increased sodium excretion by 17.2-fold and decrease potassium excretion by 71.0%. 8-Aminoguanine increases glucose excretion by 12.1-fold. Also, 8-Aminoguanine suppressed deoxycorticosterone/salt-induced hypertension.

Electronic structure methods are used to estimate differences in reaction barriers for transfer of an electron from singlet ππ* excited 8-aminoguanine (A) or deprotonated 8-aminoguanine anion (A(-)) to a proximal thymine dimer site compared to barriers when ππ* excited 8-oxoguanine

In cell culture, extracellular guanosine increases extracellular adenosine by attenuating the disposition of extracellular adenosine (American Journal of Physiology - Cell Physiology 304: C406-C421, 2013). The goal of this investigation was to determine whether this "guanosine-adenosine mechanism" is operative in

In vivo, guanine moieties in DNA, RNA, guanine nucleotides, or guanosine or guanine per se can undergo nitration (for example, by peroxynitrite) or hydroxylation (for example, by superoxide anion) on position 8 of the purine ring. Subsequent catabolism of these

8-Aminoguanosine induces diuresis, natriuresis, glucosuria, and antikaliuresis. These effects could be mediated via 8-aminoguanosine's metabolism to 8-aminoguanine. In this study, we tested this hypothesis in anesthetized rats. First, we demonstrated that at 55- to 85-minutes post-i.v. administration, 8-aminoguanosine and 8-aminoguanine
