Creatine

CAS No.

57-00-1

Formula:

C4H9N3O2

Basic Info

Creatine is a nitrogenous organic acid that occurs naturally in vertebrates and helps to supply energy to all cells in the body, primarily muscle. This is achieved by increasing the formation of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Early analysis showed that human blood is approximately 1% creatine, and the highest concentrations are found in animal blood, brain (0.14%), muscle (0.50%), and testes (0.18%). The liver and kidney contain approximately 0.01% creatine.
Creatine was identified in 1832 when Michel Eugène Chevreul isolated it from the basified water-extract of skeletal muscle. He later named the crystallized precipitate after the Greek word for meat, κρέας (kreas).
Apart from its pharmacological effects, creatine content (as a percentage of crude protein) can be used as an indicator of meat quality.
In solution, creatine is in equilibrium with creatinine. Creatine is a derivative of the guanidinium cation.

Absorption, Distribution and Excretion

In muscle and nerve, most of the creatine is phosphorylated to phosphocreatine (pCr) in a reaction that is catalyzed by the enezyme creatine kinase (CK), there are three isoforms of (isoenzymes) of CK. CK-MM is the skeletal muscle isoform; CK-BB, the brain isoform, and CK-MB, the isoform found in cardiac muscle. Most of the PCr in the body is in skeletal muscle.

AEROBIC: Creatine has been reported to be aerobically degraded by activated sludge(1).

12.3 Bioaccumulative potential

An estimated BCF of 3 was calculated for creatine(SRC), using water solubility of 1.33X10+4 mg/L(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low.
