Notes: 6-Diazo-5-oxo-L-nor-Leucine (DON) is a glutamine analog that inhibits glutaminases (Ki = 6 µM) and other glutamine-utilizing enzymes, including cytidine triphosphate synthase (CTPS), which uses glutamine in the synthesis of CTP.{28578,28576,28577} DON is commonly used in cells or tissues but its use in whole animals is limited by its teratogenicity.{28577,28574,28575}
