N-Carbamyl-L-glutamic acid is an activator of carbamoyl phosphate synthetase 1 (CPS1), the first enzyme in the urea cycle.{38610} It is a structural analog of N-acetyl-glutamate, an endogenous CPS1 activator. N-Carbamyl-L-glutamic acid (500 mg/kg) reduces 2-ketoisocaproate-induced hyperammonemia in a mouse model of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA lyase deficiency.{38609} It inhibits cell proliferation of a variety of cancer cell lines with IC50 values ranging from 5 to 7.5 nM.{38608} It also inhibits tumor growth by 80 and 82% in orthotopic mouse models of pancreatic and triple-negative breast cancer, respectively, when administered at a dose of 120 mg/kg per day for 10 days. Formulations containing N-carbamyl-L-glutamic acid have been used in the treatment of primary N-acetyl-glutamate synthase deficiency.
