 Use of α-Fluoromethyl-L-histidine dihydrochloride


(S)-alpha-Fluoromethylhistidine HCl is a potent irreversible histidine decarboxylase (HDC) inhibitor and glutathione S-transferase inhibitor. a-FMH was demonstrated to be an effective inhibitor of GST at micromolar concentration, suggesting that off-target effects of a-FMH may limit physiological drug metabolism and elimination by GST-dependent mechanisms.
