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