Description

Methyl isonipecotate is a natural triterpene that has been found to have anticancer activity. This compound binds to lysine residues on the surface of cancer cells, which leads to a decrease in the viscosity of the cell membrane. This causes an increase in hydrogen bonding interactions and inhibits the growth of primary tumors. Methyl isonipecotate also has been shown to modulate nerve tissue and promote apoptosis by inhibiting the production of epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs). Methyl isonipecotate can be synthesized from piperazine, which makes it biodegradable.
