l m tyrosine

L-m-Tyrosine (3-Hydroxy-L-Phenylalanine) is a non-natural amino acid. L-(-)-m-Tyrosine displays the potential in treating Parkinson's disease, arthritis, and Alzheimer's disease.

DL-m-Tyrosine is a non-proteinogenic amino acid. It inhibits microbial proliferation and spore formation, and significantly suppresses root development of lettuce, Arabidopsis thaliana and other plants. Combined with carbidopa, it exerts significant antihypertensive pharmacological activity and can be used as a research tool in the development and mechanism exploration of biopesticides.

H-Tyr(3-I)-OH (3-Iodo-L-tyrosine) is an inhibitor of tyrosine hydroxylase (Ki = 0.39 M) and an intermediate in the synthesis of thyroid hormones

DW532 is one of simplified analogues of hematoxylin that has shown broad-spectrum inhibition on tyrosine kinases and in vitro anti-cancer activities. DW532 inhibited EGFR and VEGFR2 in vitro kinase activity (the IC50 values were 4.9 and 5.5 μmol/L, respectively), and suppressed their downstream signaling. DW532 dose-dependently inhibited tubulin polymerization via direct binding to tubulin, thus disrupting the mitotic spindle assembly and leading to abnormal cell division. In a panel of human cancer cells, DW532 (1 and 10 μmol/L) induced G2/M phase arrest and cell apoptosis, which subsequently resulted in cytotoxicity. Knockdown of BubR1 or Mps1, the two core proteins of the spindle assembly checkpoint dramatically decreased DW532-induced cell cycle arrest in MDA-MB-468 cells. Moreover, treatment with DW532 potently and dose-dependently suppressed angiogenesis in vitro and in vivo. ( Acta Pharmacol Sin. 2014 Jul;35(7):916-28.)
