Biological target:
Mimosine, a tyrosine analog, can act as an antioxidant by its potent iron-binding activity. Mimosine is a known chelator of Fe(III).
In vitro activity:
The effect of L-mimosine on cell proliferation of prostate carcinoma cells was determined by the [3H]thymidine incorporation and flow cytometry assays. L-Mimosine arrested the cell cycle at the G1 phase in PC-3 cells and at the S phase in LNCaP cells, thus attenuating cell proliferation. Reference: Am J Physiol Cell Physiol. 2012 Feb 15;302(4):C676-85. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22116304/
In vivo activity:
Functionally, the PHD inhibitor l-mimosine (l-Mim, 50 mg x kg(-1) x day(-1) i.p. for 2 wk) substantially upregulated HIF-1alpha expression in the kidneys, especially in the renal medulla, and remarkably enhanced (by >80%) the natriuretic response to renal perfusion pressure in Sprague-Dawley rats. Reference: Am J Physiol Renal Physiol. 2007 Jan;292(1):F207-16. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16885149/
