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.^[7]^[8]^[9]^[10]
