Description

Oxodesmosine CAS NO 147044-49-3 is a specialized biochemical compound that serves as a critical advanced glycation end-product (AGE) marker and cross-linker in connective tissues. Its significance lies in its role as a key indicator for studying protein aging, tissue elasticity, and pathological conditions related to collagen degradation. This makes it an essential research chemical for scientists and developers in the life sciences, pharmaceutical R&D, and diagnostic industries focused on age-related diseases and connective tissue disorders.

Application

• Biomedical Research: Used as a reference standard and biomarker in studies of collagen aging, tissue cross-linking, and the pathophysiology of conditions like diabetes, atherosclerosis, and skin aging.
• Pharmaceutical Development: Employed in drug discovery programs targeting AGEs and collagen cross-link breakers for therapeutic interventions in fibrosis and age-related tissue stiffening.
• Diagnostic Assay Development: Serves as a critical antigen or standard for developing immunoassays (ELISA) and other analytical methods to quantify AGE levels in biological samples.
• Cosmeceutical Research: Utilized in anti-aging and skin health research to study the effects of glycation on skin collagen and to evaluate the efficacy of anti-glycation agents.
• Nutritional Science: Applied in research investigating the impact of diet and nutritional supplements on the formation and accumulation of advanced glycation end-products in the body.
