title: Synthesis of NG-monomethylagmatine, a decarboxylation product of NG-monomethyl-L-arginine.
abstract: NG-Monomethylagmatine, a decarboxylation product of NG-monomethyl-L-arginine, has been synthesized by reacting putrescine with N,S-dimethylthiopseudouronium iodide. The structural identity of the product was confirmed by proton NMR and mass spectroscopy, and its properties were determined on thin-layer and electrophoretic chromatography.
