title: Cytotoxic activity of epsilon-aminocaproylamino acids in breast cancer MCF-7 and fibroblast cell lines.
abstract: The effect of H-EACA-L-Cys(S-Bzl)-OH, H-EACA-L-Leu-OH, H-EACA-L-Nle-OH and EACA on the viability of MCF-7 and fibroblast cells was examined. The antibacterial activity of these compounds was also tested. H-EACA-L-Leu-OH and H-EACA-L-Nle-OH showed cytotoxic activity against MCF-7 and fibroblast cell lines, particularly in the highest studied 20 mM concentration. None of the examined dipeptides showed antibacterial activity.
