2-Amino-4,4-difluorobutanoic acid

CAS: 107910-31-6

2-Amino-4,4-difluorobutanoic acid is an amino acid that is the precursor to l-amino acids and δ opioid peptides. It can be synthesized in mammals by the enzyme δ aminobutyric acid (GABA) aminotransferase. This compound has been shown to have analgesic effects in animal models by acting as a δ opioid receptor agonist. 2-Amino-4,4-difluorobutanoic acid has also been shown to inhibit virus replication through inhibition of NS3 protease. Its antiviral activity is selective for influenza A virus and herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV1). 2-Amino-4,4-difluorobutanoic acid has also been shown to be a competitive inhibitor of enkephalinase, which may contribute to its analgesic effects.
