Application

Cyclopropylamine(CPA) has been used in the synthesis of N-[4-(4-fluoro)phenyl-2-aminothiazol-5-yl]pyrimidin-2-yl-alkylamine derivatives. It has been used in the synthesis of Pt(CPA)2(bismethylthiomethylenepropanedioate) and Pt(CPA)2(bisethylthiomethylenepropanedioate) complexes.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Cyclopropylamine inactivates cytochrome P450 enzymes by a mechanism involving initial one-electron oxidation at nitrogen followed by scission of the cyclopropane ring leading to covalent modification of the enzyme. It is a mechanism-based inhibitor of quinoprotein methylamine dehydrogenase from Paracoccus denitrificans.

Cyclopropylamine is a mechanism-based inhibitor of the quinoprotein methylamine dehydrogenase (MADH) from Paracoccus denitrificans. The resulting inactivation is accompanied by the formation of a covalent cross-link between the alpha and beta subunits of MADH. The results of site-directed mutagenesis studies
