Agmatine, also known as (4-aminobutyl)guanidine, is an aminoguanidine that was discovered in 1910 by Albrecht Kossel.<ref name = "Kossel_1910">{{#invoke:Citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=journal }}</ref> It is a common natural compound synthesized by decarboxylation of the amino acid arginine, hence also known as decarboxylated arginine.

Agmatine has been shown to exert modulatory action at multiple molecular targets, notably: neurotransmitter systems, key ion channels, nitric oxide (NO) synthesis and polyamine metabolism, thus providing bases for further research into potential applications.
