(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.

Providing storage is as stated on the product vial and the vial is kept tightly sealed, the product can be stored for up to 24 months.
Wherever possible, you should prepare and use solutions on the same day. However, if you need to make up stock solutions in advance, we recommend that you store the solution as aliquots in tightly sealed vials at -20°C. Generally, these will be useable for up to one month. Before use, and prior to opening the vial we recommend that you allow your product to equilibrate to room temperature for at least 1 hour.
