• Description: Fmoc-L-alanine pentafluorophenyl ester is a drug that inhibits the growth of microorganisms by inhibiting the synthesis of folic acid. It is used to treat patients with drug-resistant bacteria, such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and has shown toxic effects on human cells. Fmoc-L-alanine pentafluorophenyl ester binds to the enzyme dihydrofolate reductase and blocks the production of tetrahydrofolate, which is essential for DNA synthesis. This drug also inhibits human cells by binding to DNA gyrase in the bacterial cell wall.END>
