L-Canaline
Based on 1 Customer Validation
L-Canaline is a nonprotein amino acid stored in many leguminous plants. L-Canaline is a cytotoxic metabolite catalyzed by L-canavanine and its arginase. L-Canaline is a potent and irreversible inhibitor of ornithine aminotransferase. L-Canaline inhibits the growth of the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum with an IC50 of 297 nM. L-Canaline has anticancer and antiproliferative effects.

Biological Activity
|
Plasmodium |
L-Canaline treatment inhibits the proliferation of PBMCs after stimulation by phorbol 12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA) or via the mixed lymphocyte reaction. The greatest effect is seen with PMA-stimulated cells, where L-canaline has an IC50 of 0.26 mM. L-Canaline is slightly less toxic to PBMCs stimulated via the mixed lymphocyte reaction (IC50 of 0.54 mM)[1].
L-canaline inhibits L-lysine flux competitively (Ki of 4.6 mM) in astrocytes and astrocytoma cells[2].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
Intraseptal injection of 100 μg of L-canaline into male Sprague-Dawley rats causes a 90% decrease in the omithine aminotransferase activity of the septum tissues evaluated from animals killed 1 h later[2].
