NCIt definition : A boron-containing small molecule antifungal agent with broad-spectrum activity against
filamentous fungi, including both mold and yeast. 5-Fluoro-1,3-dihydro-1-hydroxy-2,1-benzoxaborole
inhibits fungal cytoplasmic leucyl-tRNA synthetase by preventing catalytic turnover,
thus inhibiting synthesis of leucyl-tRNA(Leu) and consequentially blocking protein
synthesis.;
