β-Aminopropionitrile
Lysyl Oxidase Inhibitor
β-Aminopropionitrile (BAPN) is an irreversible and orally active inhibitor of lysyl oxidase (LOX) and its isoenzymes. By targeting the active site of these enzymes, BAPN effectively disrupts collagen and elastin cross-linking, which is crucial for extracellular matrix stability. This compound is primarily used in research applications focusing on fibrosis, cardiovascular diseases, and various connective tissue disorders, providing valuable insights into the roles of LOX in pathophysiology.
