Eflornithine (?-difluoromethylornithine or DFMO) is a drug manufactured by Sanofi-Aventis which has various uses. It was initially developed for cancer treatment, but while having little use in treating malignancies, it was found to be highly effective in African trypanosomiasis (sleeping sickness), especially the West African form ( Trypanosoma brucei gambiense ). [ 1 ] In the United States it is known by the brand name Ornidyl . [ 2 ] A recent study (reported 2008 [ 3 ] ) conducted by UC Irvine researchers indicates that, when combined with sulindac (an anti-inflammatory drug), DFMO significantly reduces the risk of recurring colorectal polyps .
