  • Title: [Carnosine--biological activity and perspectives in pharmacotherapy].
    Author: Zieba R.
    Journal: Wiad Lek; 2007; 60(1-2):73-9. PubMed ID: 17607973.
    Abstract:
    This review summarizes the data on biological activity and therapeutic potential of camosine. Camosine is a naturally occurring, water-soluble dipeptide. It has buffering activities in excitable animal and human tissues, exhibits metal ions binding properties, antioxidant and antiglycating properties, extends the life-span of cultured human diploid cells, regulates sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca-release channel activity. Carnosine may be a potential therapeutic agent (neurodegenerative, metabolic, cardiovascular diseases) mainly due to its antioxidant and antiglycating activities.
