In view of its steric compactness, intense electronegativity, and virtually xenobiotic status,’fluorine is an appealing substituent for the construction of inhibitory analogs of enzyme substrates. Early interest in this possibility was spurred by the dramatic effects of the fluorophosphorus inactivators of acetylcholinesterase, the toxicity of fluoroacetate as a case of “lethal synthesis,” and the chemotherapeutic efficacy of the 5-fluoro antimetabolite of uracil. Several reviews of aspects of the now extensive subject are available (for instance, Refs. l-7), and this Minireview focuses principally on enzyme inhibitors in which fluorine contributes to the inhibition without functioning as a leaving group.
