S-(2-Boronoethyl)-L-cysteine(CAT: 63107-40-4), also known as L-BEC, is a boron-containing amino acid analog of L-cysteine. It is a potent inhibitor of enzymes called serine proteases, which play a role in various physiological processes such as blood coagulation, fibrinolysis, and inflammation. By inhibiting these enzymes, L-BEC has potential therapeutic applications in treating thrombosis, stroke, and other cardiovascular diseases. L-BEC has also been shown to inhibit the growth of cancer cells and sensitize them to chemotherapy and radiation therapy. It is typically administered intravenously or orally and has a relatively short half-life in the body.
