NCIt definition : The hydrochloride form of eflornithine, a difluoromethylated ornithine compound with
antineoplastic activity. Eflornithine irreversibly inhibits ornithine decarboxylase,
an enzyme required for polyamine biosynthesis, thereby inhibiting the formation and
proliferation of tumor cells. Polyamines are involved in nucleosome oligomerization
and DNA conformation, creating a chromatin environment that stimulates neoplastic
transformation of cells. (NCI04);
