A new pentafunctional cross-linking amino acid, termed allodesmosine, was isolated from bovine ligamentum nuchae elastin. This compound was a very hygroscopic, white amorphous solid with a faint yellow tinge, soluble in aqueous solvents but not dry methanol; it was characterized by UV, FAB mass and NMR spectroscopy. The compound was shown by UV and 1H-NMR to have a pyridinium ring structure similar to desmosine. Mass spectral analysis indicated a parent compound with a mass of 655. We postulated that it arose by condensation of a reduced aldol condensation product of allysine, allysine and lysine.
