Flurofamide is a bacterial urease inhibitor with a potency 1000 fold greater than Acetohydroxamic Acid (sc-207251). The compound has been observed to reduce the infection of Cryptococcus neoforman′s transmigration in the mouse brain by urease inhibition. In a study on catheter encrustation, Flurofamide was documented, at 10 mug/ml, to reduce the pH of P. mirabilis-infected urine and the calcium and magnesium salt depositions.
