Biological description
Toxic non-protein amino acid originally isolated from Mimosa pudica. Arrests the cell cycle at the G1 phase in PC-3 cells and at the S phase in LNCaP cells, thus attenuating cell proliferation. Blocks cell cycle progression by chelating iron in asynchronous MDA-MB-453 human breast cancer cells. Arrests DNA synthesis by inhibiting deoxyribonucleotide metabolism. Prolyl hydroxylase (PHD) inhibitor stimulating VEGF production, and increasing proangiogenic capacity in dental pulp-derived cells.
