New 2,3-diaminopropionic acidinhibitors of AGE and ALE formation

Novel 2,3-diaminopropionic acid-based molecules were synthesised and tested successfully as glyoxal/methylglyoxal scavengers and as AGE inhibitors. Addition of an 8-hydroxyquinoline moiety led to an increase of the overall activity. The compounds tested in this study were also proved to be efficient in trapping ALE precursor malondialdehyde.
