title: Malondialdehyde scavenging and aldose-derived Schiff bases' transglycation properties of synthetic histidyl-hydrazide carnosine analogs.
abstract: Second-generation carnosine analogs bearing the histidyl-hydrazide moiety have been synthesized and tested for their efficiency in scavenging malondialdehyde (MDA) derived from lipid peroxidation and for their ability to reverse the glycation process in the glucose-ethylamine Schiff base model. The data obtained indicate that this class of compounds maintains the activity profile of carnosine and is a suitable candidate for the treatment of disorders caused by oxidative stress.
