Mimosine hydrochloride（Cat No.:I032303）is a plant-derived compound isolated from Mimosa species, particularly Mimosa pudica. It is an amino acid analog that acts as a potent inhibitor of DNA synthesis by chelating iron and disrupting ribonucleotide reductase activity. Due to its ability to interfere with cell division, mimosine hydrochloride has been studied for its potential as an anticancer agent. It also exhibits phytotoxic properties, making it useful in plant research for studying cell cycle regulation and growth inhibition. However, its toxic effects limit its use, and further studies are needed to explore its therapeutic potential and safety.
