The inhibitory effect of mimosine on collagen synthesis

Toxicon, 1975
Abstract The effect of mimosine [β-N(3-hydroxy-4-pyridone)-α-amino propionic acid] on the biosynthesis of collagen has been studied in embryonic cartilage. The synthesis of hydroxyproline-14C was markedly inhibited in the presence of 1 mM mimosine. Autoradiographs of embryonic cartilage indicated that when the hydroxylation of proline was inhibited ...

A Study of Mimosine Toxicity in Plants

Journal of Experimental Botany, 1966
Mimosine and 3,4-dihydroxypyridine are inhibitory to the growth of mung bean seedlings. Mimosine inhibition could not be reversed by tyrosine or nicotinic acid, but it was reversed by pyridoxal phosphate or ferrous ions. Inhibition due to dihydroxypyridine also could be reversed by ferrous ions, but not by pyridoxal phosphate.

Mimosine (leucaenine) 5th communication )

Recueil des Travaux Chimiques des Pays-Bas, 1950
AbstractThe identity of mimosine from Mimosa pudica and of l‐leucaenine from Leucaena glauca Bentham is proved by means of a mixed melting point and Debije‐Scherrer diagram.The action of diazomethane on the dihydrochloride of mimosine methyl ester leads to a total degradation of the molecule, by which the pyridine ring is broken.

Antitumor Activity of Mimosine and Mimosine HYdrochloride against B16 Melanoma in BDF Mice

1976
Mimosine, β-N-(3-hydroxy-4-pyridone) α-aminopropionic acid, and its hydrochloride produced significant inhibition of subcutaneously transplanted murine B16 melanoma in BDF1 female mice. In such mice during mimosine treatment differences developed in the reactivity of both surface membrane and cytoplasmic antigens as compared to untreated cells.

Prenatal toxicity of L-mimosine in Wistar rats

Toxicon
L-Mimosine is the main active component of the plant Leucaena leucocephala. Due to its metal-chelating mechanism, it interacts with various metabolic pathways in living organisms, making it a potential pharmacological target, although it also leads to toxicity.

An automated colorimetric method for mimosine in Leucaena leaves

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, 1978
AbstractSimplified extraction and colorimetric techniques have been developed for the determination of the toxic amino acid mimosine in Leucaena leucocephala. Fresh leaf material is extracted with dilute hydrochloric acid containing activated carbon and the concentration of mimosine in the clarified extract determined with an Auto‐Analyser ...
