Title:
Ornithine and arginine salts of branched chain keto acids and uses in treatment of hepatic and renal disorders
Abstract:
Novel compounds are prepared by reacting ornithine or arginine with alpha keto analogs of branched chain essential amino acids, namely valine, leucine and isoleucine. The compounds are useful either individually or as a mixture in the treatment of hepatic disorders which are characterized by hyperammonemia and portal systemic encephalopathy. Use of these compounds in treatment of renal failure also appears promising.
