What are the applications of L-carnosine?

 

L-Carnosine, also known as β-alanyl-L-histidine, is a natural dipeptide composed of two amino acids, β-alanine and L-histidine. It was first detected in beef by Russian scientists Gulewitsch and Amirdzibi in 1900. L-Carnosine is widely present in the brain, muscles and other nerve-distributed tissues of mammals, especially in skeletal muscle.

L-Carnosine has a variety of biological activities, including:

1. Antioxidant: It can capture free radicals and protect cells from peroxidation damage.

2. Metal ion chelation: It can bind to metal ions and reduce oxidative stress caused by metal ions.

3. Neuroprotection: It plays a role in neuroprotection and helps prevent neurodegenerative diseases.

4. Promote cell repair: It helps repair damaged tissues.

5. Anti-aging: Due to its antioxidant properties, L-Carnosine is also considered to have anti-aging effects.

L-Carnosine has broad application prospects in the fields of medicine, health care and food industry. For example, in the food industry, L-carnosine can be used as an antioxidant to protect the fats in food from oxidation; in the medical field, L-carnosine may help treat diseases related to oxidative stress, such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease. In addition, L-carnosine is also used in sports supplements to improve muscle endurance and reduce muscle fatigue.

Research on the synthesis and application of L-carnosine is still ongoing, in order to discover a lower-cost, safe, efficient and green synthesis route, as well as a deeper understanding of its mechanism of action in the human body.
