Product Description
Cycloleucine is a specific inhibitor of S-adenosylmethionine-mediated methylation. Cycloleucine is an antagonist of the glycine allosteric site of the NMDA receptor with a Ki of 600 μM. Cycloleucine is also a competitive inhibitor of ATP:L-methionine-S-adenosyltransferase in vitro. Cycloleucine has anxiolytic and cytostatic effects.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
NMDA Receptor
ln Vitro
Internal methylation of viral RNA in B77 transformed chick embryo fibroblasts is blocked by cycloleucine (4–40 mM; 3 h)[5]. More than 90% of B77 38S RNA subunits are prevented from forming the penultimate Gm and m6A by cycloleucine (40 mM; 24 h)[5]. ?The viability of human KB and mouse L1210s leukemia cell lines is inhibited by cytostatic (10 μg/mL)[5].
ln Vivo
In rats, cycloleucine (0.5–4 μg; intracerebroventricular injection) prolongs open arm entry, increases open arm duration, and causes severe arrivals[3]. In mice infected with the Semliki Forest virus (SFV) strain A7(74) and normal mice, cycloleucine lowers the weights of the spleen and thymus[6].
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models: Male rats bilaterally cannulated into the nucleus accumbens septi (NAS)[3]
Doses: 1 µL of 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 4 µg/µL
Route of Administration: Intracerebroventrical injection
Experimental Results: Increased time spent in the open arms and extreme arrivals at all doses. Increased open arm entries at the dose of 4 μg.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Absorption, Distribution and Excretion
LEVELS OF (14)C IN LIVER & PANCREAS WERE RESPECTIVELY EIGHTFOLD & TWOFOLD THOSE IN BLOOD, 15 MIN AFTER IV DOSE OF [(14)C]-1-AMINOCYCLOPENTANECARBOXYLIC ACID TO RHESUS MONKEYS. (14)C LEVELS IN THESE TISSUES WERE SIMILAR TO THOSE IN BLOOD AFTER 24 HR.
WHEN ADMIN TO MICE CYCLOLEUCINE ACCUM IN TISSUES AT LEVELS BETWEEN 0.02 & 1.29 MG/ML. MOST OF REMAINING 2% WAS ASSOC WITH PROTEIN. ACCUM AGAINST CONCN GRADIENT OCCURRED IN KIDNEY, IN SPLEEN TO GREATER EXTENT & TO MUCH GREATER DEGREE IN PANCREAS. THE DISTRIBUTION RATIOS FOR CNS TISSUE, KIDNEY & SPLEEN DID NOT CHANGE AS FUNCTION OF PLASMA CYCLOLEUCINE CONCN OR OF TIME BETWEEN 4 & 40 DAYS AFTER ADMIN TO MICE. 5 DAYS AFTER ADMIN OF CYCLOLEUCINE TO MICE, HEPATIC CYCLOLEUCINE DISTRIBUTION RATIO WAS CONSIDERABLY GREATER THAN UNITY AT THE LOWEST DOSES & INCR VARIABLY WITH INCR CYCLOLEUCINE PLASMA LEVELS.
Biological Half-Life
AT 0.4-0.5 MG/G PLASMA LEVEL AT 24 DAYS WAS NOT SIGNIFICANTLY DIFFERENT FROM THAT AT 1 DAY. HIGHEST DOSES (1-3 MG/G) RESULTED IN NEARLY SIMILAR PLASMA LEVELS BY 4TH DAY. T/2 IN PLASMA WAS EXTREMELY LONG.

Additional Infomation
1-aminocyclopentanecarboxylic acid is a non-proteinogenic alpha-amino acid that is cyclopentane substituted at position 1 by amino and carboxy groups. It has a role as an EC 2.5.1.6 (methionine adenosyltransferase) inhibitor.
Cycloleucine is non-metabolisable amino acid formed by cyclization of leucine. It is also a specific and reversible inhibitor of nucleic acid methylation and widely used in biochemical experiments.
Cycloleucine has been reported in Streptomyces hydrogenans with data available.
Cycloleucine is a non-metabolizable synthetic amino acid, formed through the cyclization of the amino acid leucine, with immunosuppressive, antineoplastic, and cytostatic activities. Cycloleucine competitively inhibits the enzyme methionine adenosyltransferase, resulting in the inhibition of S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) synthesis from methionine and ATP, and subsequent nucleic acid methylation and polyamine production; RNA, and perhaps to a lesser extent, DNA biosyntheses and cell cycle progression are finally disrupted. This agent is also a competitive inhibitor at the glycine modulatory site of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor.
An amino acid formed by cyclization of leucine. It has cytostatic, immunosuppressive and antineoplastic activities.
Mechanism of Action
SYNTHETIC AMINO ACID THOUGHT TO ACT AS VALINE ANTAGONIST.

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
