A metagenomic survey of the fecal microbiome of the African savanna elephant (Loxodonta africana)
Abstract The African savanna elephant (Loxodonta africana) is the largest terrestrial animal on Earth and is found primarily in Southern and Eastern Africa. It is a hindgut, colonic fermenter and subsists on a diet of raw plant materials found in its grazing area.

Mimosine and cyclophosphamide: a potential new combination therapy used to prevent tumor development
The effects of mimosine (MI), which is an amino acid that is derived from Leucaena leucocephala, were evaluated on the growth of ascitic Ehrlich tumors, and the effects of the combination treatment of MI and cyclophosphamide (CY) on tumor growth were ...

This work was the first to obtain IQ‐degrading bacteria from digestive tract of camels and to reveal the characteristics of these degrading bacteria. Results provided microbial resources for biodegradation of foodborne toxins. Abstract Heterocyclic amines (HAs) are a group of mutagenic and carcinogenic compounds produced from the processing of high ...

Rhizobium sp. strain TAL1145 that nodulates Leucaena leucocephala degrades mimosine, a toxin produced by this tree legume. A cosmid clone, pUHR263, containing ~25 kb cloned DNA was isolated by plating Escherichia coli cells containing the cosmid clone ...

Leucaena (Leucena leucocephala) is a feed source which has high protein and carotenoid, but its utilization as feed was limited by the presence of mimosine (β-N-(3-Hydroxy-4 pyridone)-α amino propenoic acid as a toxin.

The anticancer activity of a series of novel synthesized, hydroxypyridone-based metal chelators (analogues of L-mimosine) was evaluated in an in vitro model of melanoma consisting of malignant melanoma (A375), non-melanoma epidermoid carcinoma (A431) and

Abstract Previous studies have shown that podocyte injury is involved in the development of proteinuria in rats under hypobaric hypoxia conditions. Prolyl hydroxylase inhibitors (PHIs) may reduce proteinuria. This study aimed to further investigate whether the protective effects of hypoxia‐inducible factor 1α (HIF1α) on podocyte injury induced by ...

Combined experimental and computational studies of phenylalanine derivatives, with structures close to the L–DOPA, one of the natural substrates of human tyrosinase, provides conclusive evidence of their interactions with this enzyme. In particular, our findings indicate that the (S)‐3‐amino‐tyrosine stands out as an amino phenol derivative with ...

Mimosine, the allelochemical from the leguminous tree Leucaena leucocephala, is toxic to most terrestrial animals and plants. We report here that while mimosine inhibits major phytoplankton groups, it enhances cell proliferation in dinoflagellates.
