Agmatine, also known as 4-aminobutyl-guanidine, was discovered in 1910 by Albrecht Kossel.^[2] It is a chemical substance which is naturally created from the amino acid arginine. Agmatine has been shown to exert modulatory action at multiple molecular targets, notably: neurotransmitter systems, ion channels, nitric oxide (NO) synthesis, and polyamine metabolism and this provides bases for further research into potential applications.
