Description

(S)-4-Fluorophenylglycine (FPG) is a drug that has been shown to have antipsychotic properties. FPG binds to the NS5B polymerase, which is an enzyme involved in the replication of viral dna. It also inhibits peptide binding in the active site of the enzyme, thereby preventing DNA synthesis. FPG has been shown to be effective against chronic schizophrenia and can be used as a treatment for this disorder. The drug is activated by uridine, which is converted into UMP by adenosine deaminase, which then reacts with FPG to form UMP-FPG. This compound has been shown to inhibit HIV replication in cell culture assays and animal models.
