Description

4-Fluoro-L-phenylalanine is a fluorinated analog of phenylalanine. It has been shown to be an inhibitor of the enzyme that catalyzes the formation of disulfide bonds in nuclear DNA. 4-Fluoro-L-phenylalanine has also been found to have antiviral properties, which may be due to its ability to inhibit viral replication by interfering with protein synthesis and chromosome replication. This compound may also inhibit the growth of resistant mutant strains of viruses, such as influenza virus, and wild type strains. 4-Fluoro-L-phenylalanine inhibits the activity of enzymes involved in biological processes, such as protein synthesis. It is thought that this compound may have potential uses for treating infectious diseases.
