Description

N-(Trifluoroacetyl)glycine is an amide with a trifluoroacetyl group. It is used in the synthesis of hydrophilic compounds and as a linker for other molecules. N-(Trifluoroacetyl)glycine has been shown to be toxic to the kidneys, which may be due to its ability to inhibit the conversion of glycine to urea by the enzyme glycine-N-acyltransferase. This drug also has antiviral activity against HIV infection, particularly when combined with other antiviral drugs such as zidovudine or lamivudine.
