  • Description
    L-Mimosine is a non-protein amino acid, and acts as an iron chelator.
  • In Vitro
    Mimosine, a known chelator of Fe(III), may facilitate Fe(III) uptake in leucaena by serving as a phytosiderophore. Mimosine, a bidentate iron-binding ligand, may also play a role in cellular translocation of iron within leucaena.Mimosine is a toxic nonprotein amino acid that is a major constituent of the tropical legumesLeucaenaandMimosa.Mimosine (400 μM), through iron chelation, reversibly blocks cell cycle progression in MDA-MB-453 human breast cancer cells.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.
  • In Vivo
    Mimosine (30, and 60 mg/kg) decreases sperm concentration. Animal Model:ICR male mice (6-8 weeks)Dosage:15, 30, or 60 mg/kg Administration:Injected (i.p.) for 7 consecutive days Result:Could significantly reduce sperm concentration as compared to the control or low dose mimosine group (15 mg/kg) at doses of 30 and 60 mg/kg.
