Description

S-Ethyl trifluorothioacetate is a small molecule that inhibits bacterial growth by disrupting the synthesis of the amino acid lysine. It has been shown to be effective against several bacteria, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). The conformational properties of S-Ethyl trifluorothioacetate are similar to those of picolinic acid, which is used in the treatment of Parkinson's disease. Picolinic acid binds to lysine residues in proteins and prevents their synthesis. This leads to lesions in the liver because it disrupts the urea cycle and prevents protein synthesis in cells. S-Ethyl trifluorothioacetate also interferes with receptor activity and antibody response to bacterial infections by binding to sites on antibodies that are normally occupied by fluoroquinolones. In addition, this agent is able to inhibit growth factor production and has a kinetic energy that is higher
