β-Guanidino-L-α-tosylamino-propionsaeure, also known as L-canavanine, is a naturally occurring amino acid analog found in certain plants, such as the jack bean (Canavalia ensiformis). It is structurally similar to the essential amino acid L-arginine, but with a tosyl group (a phenylsulfonyl group) attached to the α-amino group. This chemical modification makes L-canavanine a potent competitive inhibitor of arginase, an enzyme involved in the urea cycle, which can lead to arginine depletion and various physiological effects in organisms that consume it. Due to its ability to mimic L-arginine, L-canavanine can be toxic to certain organisms, including insects and some microorganisms, making it a potential biopesticide. However, it is important to note that L-canavanine is not a component of the human diet and has no known therapeutic applications in humans.

Check Digit Verification of cas no

The CAS Registry Mumber 3476-23-1 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 3,4,7 and 6 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 2 and 3 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 3476-23:
(6*3)+(5*4)+(4*7)+(3*6)+(2*2)+(1*3)=91
91 % 10 = 1
So 3476-23-1 is a valid CAS Registry Number.

Effects of arginine homologues and other guanidino compounds on the ATP level and glucose oxidation in isolated fat cells

Schwegler,Stock

, p. 839 - 844 (1975)

The arginine homologues 2 amino 3 guanidinopropionic acid, 2 amino 4 guanidinobutyric acid and 2 amino 6 guanidinocaproic acid (= homoarginine) were synthesized and transformed into their methyl esters. The latter, together with arginine methyl ester, arg
