Uses and synthesis of Guanidineacetic acid powder

Guanidineacetic acid powder, also known as guanidineacetic acid, n-amidinoglycine, is an amino acid analogue that is the only precursor to creatine synthesis in vertebrates. Guanidineacetic acid is a colorless, foliaceous or acicular acetic acid that is soluble in water but very slightly soluble in ethanol and ether. Decomposition at 280 ~ 284℃. General reagent content ≥ 97%(NT). Guanidineacetic acid is a precursor of creatine in animals and plays a role in regulating energy metabolism. As a new type of nutritional feed additive, guanidine acetic acid can improve the growth performance, slaughter and reproduction performance and meat quality of pigs and chickens.

Applications/Functions of Guanidineacetic acid powder

Guanidineacetic acid powder is a precursor of creatine. Creatine phosphate, which contains high acetic acid group transfer potential energy, widely exists in muscle and nerve tissues. Guanidineacetic acid powder is a major energy supply substance in animal muscle tissues, and can be used as food additive and intermediate in organic synthesis.

Physicochemical Property of Guanidineacetic acid powder

Guanidineacetic acid is a colorless, foliaceous or acicular acetic acid that is soluble in water but very slightly soluble in ethanol and ether. Decomposition at 280 ~ 284℃. General reagent content ≥ 97%(NT).

Production methodprocess of Guanidineacetic acid powder

Acetic acid can be derived from thiourea by reacting with bromoethane to produce S-ethyl thiourea hydrobromide and Guanidineacetic acid by reacting with glycine.
