Bisorcic (INNTooltip International Nonproprietary Name), also known as "N"2,"N"5-diacetyl--ornithine, is a drug described as a hepatoprotective agent and "psychostimulant" which has been used in France in the treatment of asthenia. It is the "N"2,"N"5-diacetylated derivative of the amino acid -ornithine.
Bisorcic was first described in the literature in 1973 in a German patent. The INNTooltip International Nonproprietary Name was designated around 1975. The drug was marketed in France by Astyl-Gallier in 1987. It was provided in the form of 200mg oral capsules and four capsules were taken daily.
-Ornithine, as the combination drug -ornithine -aspartate (LOLA), has been used in the treatment of hepatic encephalopathy and cirrhosis and is likewise described as hepatoprotective. It is thought to work by participating in the urea cycle and lowering ammonia levels.
