L-BMAA hydrochloride has been used as a standard to compare all the samples in the analysis of β-N-methylamino-l-alanine (BMAA) isomers in desert crust material. It has also been used as an additive with f/2+Si medium?to treat the cells of?Phaeodactylum tricornutum and?Thalassiosira weissflogii?to study its effect on them. | [General Description]
L-BMAA hydrochloride/β-N-methylamino-l-alanine (BMAA) is a cyanobacterial neurotoxin. | [Biochem/physiol Actions]
L-BMAA hydrochloride helps to block the addition of heparan sulfate to glypican-1. It possesses unusual glutamate receptor binding properties. It may cause amyotrophic lateral sclerosis/Lou Gehrig′s disease. | [in vivo]
β-N-methylamino-L-alanine (460 mg/kg, s.c., daily, 2 weeks) hydrochloride inhibits melatonin synthesis in a Wistar rat model[4].
β-N-methylamino-L-alanine (BMAA-HCl, 400 mg kg, s.c.) hydrochloride induces developmental neurotoxicity in a rat model[5].
β-N-methylamino-L-alanine (100-350 mg/kg, i.p., 5 consecutive days) hydrochloride causes neurological and pathological phenotypes mimicking Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) in male rats[6].
β-N-methylamino-L-alanine (5-10 nmol, intravitreal injections) hydrochloride induces in vivo retinal cell death in mice[8].
β-N-methylamino-L-alanine (250 mg/kg, i.p., 5 consecutive days) hydrochloride produces oxidative damage in liver and kidney of rats, with the significant increase of lipid peroxidation and high catalase activity[12].
β-N-methylamino-L-alanine (40-460 mg/kg, s.c., 2 days) hydrochloride perturbs the intermediary metabolism in neonatal rats, with impairments in learning and memory function[13].
