Notes: L-Canaline is an aminooxy analog of ornithine that irreversibly inhibits aminotransferases (transaminases), including ornithine aminotransferase (Ki = 2 µM).{29314,29315,29317} It forms oximes with α-keto acids and aldehydes, most notably with pyridoxal phosphate, an essential cofactor of aminotransferases.{29317} L-Canaline is naturally found in plants, including legumes, and is involved in the metabolism of L-canavanine, an aminooxy analog of arginine.{29316} It is cytotoxic to a range of organisms, including bacteria, insects, and parasites.{29315,29316,29313}
