JHU-083 is an experimental drug which acts as a glutaminase inhibitor. It is a prodrug which is cleaved in vivo to the active form 6-diazo-5-oxo-L-norleucine. It has been researched for the treatment of various neurological conditions such as depression, Alzheimer's disease, and cerebral malaria, [1] [2] [3] as well as multiple sclerosis, [4] atherosclerosis, [5] hepatitis, [6] and some forms of cancer in which it was found to target senescent cells.
