The presence of an aminoguanidine functional group (-NH-C(=NH)-NH2) distinguishes aminoguanidine compounds from other classes of chemical substances. These molecules' broad biological functions and possible applications have attracted great interest in a number of domains, including medicinal chemistry, biochemistry, and materials science. Aminoguanidine hydrochloride is a well-known member of this class whose pharmacological characteristics have been well investigated. Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are linked to the etiology of aging-related disorders and diabetic complications. It has been shown to have inhibitory effects on AGE development. AMINOGUANE HydroCHloride has demonstrated potential in preclinical investigations for the treatment of diabetic retinopathy, neuropathy, and nephropathy by scavenging reactive carbonyl species and blocking the glycation process. Aminoguanidine bicarbonate, or pimagedine, is another noteworthy substance that inhibits the development of AGEs more effectively and selectively. Pimagedine has shown positive benefits on renal function and structural alterations in patients with type 1 diabetes during clinical trials for diabetic nephropathy. However, due to safety concerns and ineffectiveness in larger-scale studies, its research was abandoned.Aminoguanidine compounds have been studied for their antioxidant qualities in addition to their function in AGE inhibition. These compounds have the ability to reduce oxidative stress and scavenge reactive oxygen species (ROS), which are linked to a number of pathological diseases, including cancer, heart disease, and neurological conditions. Furthermore, because aminoguanidine derivatives can inhibit the synthesis of pro-inflammatory mediators, they have been investigated as possible therapeutic agents for inflammatory conditions such rheumatoid arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease.Aminoguanidine compounds have been used as precursors in the field of materials science to create coordination polymers and organic-inorganic hybrid materials. These materials are attractive options for gas storage, sensing, and heterogeneous catalysis because of their controllable characteristics including porosity, luminescence, and catalytic activity. Finally, it should be noted that aminoguanidine compounds are a flexible class of molecules with a wide range of biological activity and possible uses in materials science and medicine. New medicines and functional materials with better efficacies and safety profiles might result from more investigation into their pharmacokinetic characteristics and structure-activity correlations.
