Description

2,3,4,5,6-Pentafluoro-L-phenylalanine (PFPA) is a substrate molecule that has been shown to inhibit the α1 subunit of the Na+/K+ ATPase in human heart cells. PFPA also inhibits the growth of bacteria in culture and is active against bacterial strains that have developed resistance to other antimicrobial agents. PFPA is also effective against bowel disease caused by H. pylori. PFPA has been shown to inhibit the production of an antimicrobial peptide by hl-60 cells in vitro and has been shown to be effective against a number of infectious diseases including tuberculosis and some autoimmune diseases.
