Biological Activity
Mimosine, a known chelator of Fe(III), may facilitate Fe(III) uptake in leucaena by serving as a phytosiderophore[2].
Mimosine, a bidentate iron-binding ligand, may also play a role in cellular translocation of iron within leucaena[2].
Mimosine is a toxic nonprotein amino acid that is a major constituent of the tropical legumesLeucaenaandMimosa[4].
Mimosine (400 μM), through iron chelation, reversibly blocks cell cycle progression in MDA-MB-453 human breast cancer cells[4].
Mimosine (400 μM) reduces DNA synthesis by greater than 90% of control within 4 hr of treatment, and suppresses total proline-directed protein kinase activity to less than 10% of control after 16 hr treatment[4].

Solvent & Solubility
H2O : 16.67 mg/mL (84.12 mM; ultrasonic and warming and adjust pH to 2 with 1 M HCl and heat to 60°C)
H2O : 5.56 mg/mL (28.06 mM; ultrasonic and warming and heat to 60°C)
Please refer to the solubility information to select the appropriate solvent. Once prepared, please aliquot and store the solution to prevent product inactivation from repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Storage method and period of stock solution: -80°C, 6 months; -20°C, 1 month (protect from light). When stored at -80°C, please use it within 6 months. When stored at -20°C, please use it within 1 month.
* Note: If you choose water as the stock solution, please dilute it to the working solution, then filter and sterilize it with a 0.22 μm filter before use.
