β-Cyano-L-alanine (BCA) is used as a cystathione γ-lyase (CSE) inhibitor to study the physiological roles of hydrogen sulfide in processes such as angiogenesis and hypertension.

The reaction of D-amino acid oxidase [EC 1.4.3.3] (DAO) from porcine kidney with beta-cyano-D-alanine (D-BCNA) was studied. DAO was found to catalyze elimination of the cyano group as well as oxidation of D-BCNA. During the course of the reaction in

Haemorrhagic shock (60 min) in the anaesthetized rat resulted in a prolonged fall in the mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR). Pre-treatment (30 min before shock) or post-treatment (60 min after shock) with inhibitors of cystathionine gamma

Beside the known existence of cyanoglucosides (linamarin and lotaustralin) and proteins the neurotoxin beta-cyanoalanine has been demonstrated for the first time in the defensive secretions of animals. It is proposed that beta-cyanoalanine is produced by metabolizing cyanide from the cyanoglucosides.

The clinical utility of relative and absolute grading criteria for submucosal invasion in T1 colorectal carcinomas has been controversial. In 51 T1 colorectal carcinomas, depth of submucosal invasion was graded either according to a modified Haggitt's classification (a relative criterion)

1. Sodium hydrogen sulphide (NaHS), a donor of hydrogen sulphide (H(2)S), produced dose-related relaxation of the rabbit isolated ileum (EC(50), 76.4+/-7.9 microM) and rat vas deferens (EC(50), 64.8+/-5.4 microM) and reduced ACh-mediated contraction of the guinea-pig isolated ileum. 2. NaHS
