Dicyclohexylamine is a trifluoromethanesulfonic acid (TFSA) scavenger that inhibits HIV infection by blocking the reaction solution. TFSA is a by-product of the industrial production of solanum tuberosum, and has been shown to inhibit plant enzyme activity. Dicyclohexylamine has been shown to be an effective inhibitor of enzymes such as phosphodiesterase, lipases, and proteases in detergent compositions. It also inhibits the activity of a number of enzymes in organic solutions and chemical reactions.
