This product can be solubilized at 50 mg/ml of 1M ammonium hydroxide. This product can also be
solubilized in water at 2mg/ml forming a clear to slightly hazy colorless solution. Solubility may be increased to at least 10mg/ml by solubilizing in either dilute acid or base. It is probably preferable to prepare a slightly acidic solution since this would maintain the amine group as a quaternary amine, which is less prone to oxidation. These solutions may be stored short term in the refrigerator or long term as frozen aliquots. Specifics around in vivo and/or in vitro applications have not been determined for this product. Consult the scientific literature for further information around the use of this product in these applications.

General description
L-mimosine [β-N (3-hydroxy-4-pyridone)-α-amino propionic acid] is a non-protein amino acid and is a vital component of tropical legumes, such as Leucaena glauca and other legumes belonging to Mimosa spp. Structurally L-mimosine resembles dihydroxyphenylalanine except 3,4-dihydroxy-phenyl ring replaced by 3-hydroxy-4-pyridone ring.[1]
Application
L-Mimosine from Koa hoale seeds has been used to study its anti-inflammatory effect in chronic inflammatory response (potassium permanganate - induced chronic granuloma).[2]
Biochem/physiol Actions
L-Mimosine is a plant amino acid and potential inhibitor of the cell cycle giving rise to growth arrest in G1-phase.[3] It is an iron chelator that inhibits DNA replication in mammalian cells.[4] L-Mimosine has been shown to promote apoptosis in xenotransplanted human pancreatic cancer.[5] L-Mimosine stabilizes hypoxia inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) and stimulates the expression of B-cell translocation gene 2 (Btg2) and N-myc downstream regulated gene 1 (Ndrg1) at the transcriptional level, which reduce cell proliferation of prostate carcinoma cells in vitro. L-Mimosine stabilizes HIF-1 through the inhibition of prolyl hydroxylases (PHDs) which target HIF-1 through degradation.[3] The mechanism of inhibition is likely through the chelation of Fe2+ bound to the active site of PHD which is required for enzymatic activity. Mimosine inhibits cell cycle progression via iron chelation in MDA-MB-453 human breast cancer cells.[6] Mimosine, hinder folate metabolism in cell-specific manner.[4]
