Description

L-Azetidine-2-carboxylic acid is a natural product that has been shown to have anticancer effects. It has been shown to induce apoptosis in cancer cells by binding to response elements on the DNA, which causes DNA damage and cell death. L-Azetidine-2-carboxylic acid also inhibits protein synthesis by interfering with the uptake of amino acids, which are essential for protein production. This compound is not toxic to healthy cells because it cannot cross the lipid bilayer of the cell membrane. L-Azetidine-2-carboxylic acid also induces autophagy in cancer cells, causing them to destroy their own cellular components. There is evidence that this compound may be effective for other diseases such as diabetes and neurodegenerative disorders due to its ability to regulate intracellular calcium levels and its cytosolic function as a substrate molecule.
