Description

L-Mimosine is a polymerase chain inhibitor that binds to the β subunit of RNA polymerase and inhibits transcription. The L-mimosine has been found to have significant cytotoxicity in human osteosarcoma cells and skin cancer cells. L-Mimosine has also been shown to inhibit tumor progression in vivo. In addition, L-mimosine has been shown to significantly increase the expression of dopamine β hydroxylase, an enzyme that converts dopamine into norepinephrine, which is important for healthy skin function.
The kinetic data of L-mimosine was determined by measuring the inhibition of DNA synthesis following drug treatment. This data is represented as a percentage of control values and plotted against time.
