DL-α-Difluoromethylornithine (DFMO) is an irreversible inhibitor of ornithine decarboxylase that suppresses polyamine biosynthesis.{27553} DFMO displays antiangiogenic and cytostatic effects in tumor cells but must be used in combination with other chemotherapeutic agents to negate compensatory increases in polyamine content through alternate synthesis pathways.{27553,27552,27554,27555} Through inhibition of polyamine synthesis, DFMO also demonstrates antiparasitic activity in a model of C. parvum infection.{26876}
