Rac-prolinol is a picolinic acid derivative that has been shown to inhibit the production of pyrrolidinecarboxylic acid in the form of l-tartaric acid. This inhibition is due to the formation of a hydrogen bond with the hydroxyl group on the substrate molecule, which prevents its conversion into pyrrolidinecarboxylic acid. Rac-prolinol has also been shown to inhibit collagen production in cells. Rac-prolinol binds to receptors that are involved in regulating cell proliferation and differentiation, including transforming growth factor beta receptor and epidermal growth factor receptor. It inhibits collagen synthesis by acting as a competitive inhibitor of proline hydroxylase, an enzyme responsible for catalyzing proline into hydroxyproline. The molecule also inhibits DNA synthesis by binding to the erythrocyte membrane skeleton and blocking ATP synthesis.
