| Bioactivity | β-Aminopropionitrile (BAPN) is a specific, irreversible and orally active lysyl oxidase (LOX) inhibitor. β-Aminopropionitrile targets the active site of LOX or LOXL isoenzymes[1][2]. |
| Invitro | β-Aminopropionitrile (BAPN) normalizes the expression of GLUT4 and adiponectin, and improves glucose uptake in an in vitro model of insulin resistance[1].β-Aminopropionitrile (500 μM; 72 h) blocks the hypoxia-induced EMT morphological and marker protein changes, and inhibits invasion and migration capacities of cervical carcinoma cells in vitro[2].
