Trifluoroacetic acid is a synthetic molecule that is used as a precursor for the synthesis of various pharmaceuticals, including the skin-lightening agent N-(2,2,2-trifluoroacetyl)-L-valyl-L-tyrosyl-L-valine. This drug is an inhibitor of tyrosinase and blocks the synthesis of melanin. Trifluoroacetic acid has been shown to inhibit tyrosinase activity in human skin cells by binding to tyrosinase and blocking its catalytic site. The hydrogenation of trifluoroacetic acid yields 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol (TFE), which can be used as a solvent in cosmetic formulations.
