Description

Dehydroeffusol is a chemical compound that is used as a pesticide. It is extracted from the plant Acacia senegal, which grows in Africa and Asia. Dehydroeffusol inhibits the activity of acetyltransferases, which are enzymes that catalyze the transfer of an acetyl group to proteins. This inhibition results in cancer cell death by preventing essential proteins from being synthesized. The effect of dehydroeffusol on tumor cells has been studied using a surface methodology and it has been found to be effective at low doses.br>br>
Dehydroeffusol also has protease activity, which means that it can cleave peptide bonds in proteins. Proteolysis is important for cancer cells because they require large amounts of protein synthesis for growth and division. Dehydroeffusol may inhibit proteolysis by blocking the active site of serine proteases or by acting as a competitive inhibitor with other serine proteases.
