eflornithine and Keratosis

eflornithine has been researched along with Keratosis in 3 studies

Eflornithine: An inhibitor of ORNITHINE DECARBOXYLASE, the rate limiting enzyme of the polyamine biosynthetic pathway.
eflornithine : A fluoroamino acid that is ornithine substituted by a difluoromethyl group at position 2.

Keratosis: Any horny growth such as a wart or callus.
