Eflornithine hydrochloride hydrate (DFMO hydrochloride hydrate) is an ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) inhibitor with antitumor activity. Cost-effective and quality-assured.

α-Difluoromethylornithine is a suicide inhibitor of ornithine decarboxylase. Initially developed for cancer treatment, eflornithine was found to be very efficient against trypanosomiasis. The ornithine derivative also found use in cosmetics, eflornithine-containing creams allow to reduce excessive hair growth (hirsutism). CAS Number (net): 67037-37-0, (hydrochloride): 68278-23-9.
