Eflornithine(Difluoromethylornithine) inhibits polyamine biosynthesis by the selective, irreversible inhibition of ornithine decarboxylase (ODC). A chemoprotective agent that blocks angiogenesis. Its biological half-life is 8 hours.
A cell-permeable, anticancer agent that acts as a specific and irreversible inhibitor of ornithine decarboxylase (ODC), the rate-limiting enzyme in polyamine biosynthesis. Inhibits B16 melanoma-induced angiogenesis in ovo and proliferation of vascular endothelial cells in vitro.
This compound belongs to the class of organic compounds known as alpha amino acids. These are amino acids in which the amino group is attached to the carbon atom immediately adjacent to the carboxylate group (alpha carbon).
