Background: The formation and accumulation of advanced glycation end products (AGE) in various tissues are known to be involved in the aging process and complications of long-term diabetes. Aminoguanidine as AGE inhibitors was first studied, and metformin as biguanide compounds have been reported to react with reactive dicarbonyl precursors such as methylglyoxal.Methods: We studied the effects of the biguanides of buformin and metformin on AGE formation by the methods of specific fluorescence, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and a Western blot analysis using the anti-AGE antibody after incubating BSA or RNase with methylglyoxal.Results: Buformin is a more potent inhibitor of AGE formation than metformin, and suggests that the amino group of buformin trap the carbonyl group of methylglyoxal to suppress fort-nation of AGE.Conclusion: In addition to that of metformin, buformin may be clinically useful to prevent diabetic complications.
