The mechanism of the inhibition of advanced glycosylation by aminoguanidine and other hydrazine type compounds was investigated using a solution of one or two molecules of aminoguanidine or other hydrazine type compound incubated with an Amadori product (1-propylamine-1-deoxy-D-fructose) under physiological conditions. This inhibition was found to proceed through the reactive intermediate 1-propylamino-1, 4-dideoxyosone to form the corresponding triazine and the dehydrazone of 1,4-dideoxyglucosone, respectively. The triazine and dehydrazone products are useful as macrophage stimulants to activate a macrophage to effect removal of advanced glycosylation endproducts (AGEs). Additionally, they can be used in a variety of investigative methods in an effort to measure the extent of nonenzymatic glycosylation of a protein sample wherein aminoguanidine or other hydrazine-type compound is or was present during the glycosylation process.
A compound selected from the group consisting of compounds of the formula ##STR10## wherein R is a lower alkyl group of 1 to 6 carbon atoms;
An indicator composition for use in an assay procedure for the detection of advanced glycosylation endproducts in polypeptide samples, said composition comprising a compound selected from the group consisting of compounds of the formula ##STR11## wherein R is a lower alkyl group of 1 to 6 carbon atoms;
