Beschreibung

2-[(2,2,2-Trifluoroethyl)sulfanyl]acetic acid (TFAA) is a pharmaceutical excipient that is used as a raw material for the production of cephalosporin. It has antibacterial activity against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. TFAA inhibits bacterial growth by binding to the active site of the enzyme methoxylmethyl esterase, which converts methoxymethyl esters to methyl esters. This leads to an accumulation of intermediates in cephalosporin synthesis and eventually cell death. TFAA has been shown to be effective against infections caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).
