L-Canavanine Chemical Properties,Usage,Production
Uses
NO synthase inhibitor
Definition
ChEBI: L-canavanine is a non-proteinogenic L-alpha-amino acid that is L-homoserine substituted at oxygen with a guanidino (carbamimidamido) group. Although structurally related to L-arginine, it is non-proteinogenic. It has a role as a phytogenic insecticide and a plant metabolite. It is functionally related to a L-homoserine. It is a conjugate base of a L-canavanine(1+). It is a tautomer of a L-canavanine zwitterion.
Biochem/physiol Actions
L-Canavanine is a naturally occurring L-amino acid that interferes with L-arginine-utilizing enzymes due to its structural similarity. It is a selective inhibitor of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS). Overproduction of NO by iNOS plays a crucial role in the pathophysiology of septic shock and chronic inflammation.
Purification Methods
Crystallise S-canavanine from absolute EtOH or aqueous EtOH.
