Synonyms: L-α-difluoromethylornithine monohydrochloride, L-RMI71782 monohydrochloride, L-DFMO monohydrochloride


| Description | L-Eflornithine monohydrochloride is an irreversible ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) inhibitor with a KD of 1.3±0.3 μM, and a Kinact of 0.15±0.03 min-1. L-Eflornithine monohydrochloride (L-DFMO monohydrochloride) is an enantiomer of Eflornithine. L-Eflornithine is utilized in enzymology and polyamine biosynthesis research systems to investigate irreversible inhibition kinetics of ornithine decarboxylase, including enzyme inactivation parameters (KD and Kinact) and their relationship to catalytic turnover regulation in cellular metabolic models. L-Eflornithine monohydrochloride (L-DFMO monohydrochloride) is further applied in stereochemical and structure–activity relationship studies evaluating enantiomer-dependent enzyme binding and inhibition efficiency in biochemical assay systems. |

| In vitro | Treatment of human colon tumour-derived HCT116 cells with either L-Eflornithine or D- Eflornithine decreases the cellular polyamine contents in a concentration-dependent manner. The enantiomers display different potencies in vitro, with the L-enantiomer having up to a 20-fold higher affinity for the target enzyme ornithine decarboxylase. ?The L-Eflornithine also appears to be more potent in cultured T.brucei gambiense parasites.Eflornithine (D/L-DFMO) is an inhibitor of ODC, the first enzyme in eukaryotic polyamine biosynthesis.?Both enantiomers of Eflornithine (DFMO) irreversibly inactivate ODC.?Both Eflornithine enantiomers (L-Eflornithine and D-Eflornithine) suppress ODC activity in a time- and concentration-dependent manner.?The inhibitor dissociation constant (KD) values for the formation of enzyme-inhibitor complexes are 28.3±3.4, 1.3±0.3 and 2.2±0.4 μM respectively for D-Eflornithine, L-Eflornithine and Eflornithine.?The inhibitor inactivation constants (Kinact) for the irreversible step were 0.25±0.03, 0.15±0.03 and 0.15±0.03 min-1 respectively for D-Eflornithine, L-Eflornithine and Eflornithine. |
| In vivo | The typical oral clearances of L-Eflornithine and D-Eflornithine are 17.4 and 8.23 liters/h, respectively. L-Eflornithine, being more potent, is present at significantly lower concentrations in both plasma and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) compared to D-Eflornithine. On average, plasma concentrations of L-Eflornithine are 52% of those of the D-enantiomer. |
