Uses
N-ω-chloroacetyl-L-ornithine (NCAO) is a potent reversible competitive ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) inhibitor that exerts cytotoxic and antiproliferative effects on tumor cell lines with EC50 values ranging from 1 to 50.6 μM. NCAO induces tumor cell Apoptosis and inhibits tumor cell migration in vitro. NCAO also exhibits a potent antitumor activity against both solid and ascitic tumors in a mouse model using the myeloma (Ag8) cell line. NCAO is promising for research of antitumor agents[1].
