    GlossaryOrnithine Decarboxylase Inhibitors

    compounds that block an enzyme crucial for cell growth

    Ornithine Decarboxylase Inhibitors (ODC Inhibitors) are compounds that block the activity of the enzyme ornithine decarboxylase, which is crucial for the production of polyamines. Polyamines are molecules that play a key role in cell growth and differentiation. By inhibiting this enzyme, ODC Inhibitors can potentially slow down or prevent the proliferation of cells, making them useful in treatments for conditions like cancer and certain types of hair loss, such as androgenetic alopecia.
