• Description: Triphenylmethanol (TPM) is an inhibitor of the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase. It is synthesized by reacting p-hydroxybenzoic acid with a hydroxyl group in the presence of trifluoroacetic acid and potassium carbonate. The reaction solution was then analyzed by x-ray crystallography, revealing the molecular structure of TPM. TPM binds to the metal ion in a hydroxyl group, preventing alcohol dehydrogenase from oxidizing ethanol to acetaldehyde. This mechanism also explains why TPM inhibits other enzymes that use this same metal ion cofactor such as carboxypeptidase A and aminopeptidase P, which are involved in protein synthesis and degradation.
