Biological activity

2-Aminoisobutyric acid (NSC-16590,2-Methylalanine,H-Aib-OH) is a rare, non-protein amino acid that is an end product of pyrimidine metabolism and is excreted in urine and found in some fungically-derived antibiotics.

Target spot

NSC16590(α-Aminoisobutyricacid,AIB) inhibits the production of endogenous ethylene in the cotyledonarys egments of cocklebur(Xanthium pennsylvanicumWallr.) seeds most strongly. NSC16590 at 4mM inhibit the formation of ethyleneby about50%, although the O2 uptake of the segments is not ffectedeven at 20mM.NSC16590 also inhibits ethylene formation in the stem segments of etiolated pea (Pisumsatiuum L. cv. Alaska) seedlings. Kinetic analysis with cell free extracts from etiolated pea shoots reveals that NSC16590 competitively inhibits the conversion of ACC into ethylen.
