2-Amino-4,4,4-trifluoro-3-hydroxybutanoic acid (2AHB) is a β-amino acid that is used in the treatment of various diseases. 2AHB has been shown to have antiviral activity against coronaviruses and anti-inflammatory effects in mice. This compound also has radioprotective properties and can be used for the prevention of radiation induced injury. 2AHB has been shown to induce apoptotic cell death in many cells, including cancer cells. It can be used for the treatment of inflammatory diseases such as arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease. 2AHB binds to metal ions such as iron and zinc, which are required for some enzymes involved in DNA synthesis, leading to inhibition of these enzymes. This prevents DNA replication, which can lead to cell death.
