:Methyl bromopyruvate
Description:
Methyl bromopyruvate is an organic compound with the molecular formula C4H7BrO3. It is characterized by the presence of a bromine atom, which contributes to its reactivity and potential applications in various chemical reactions. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a fruity odor. Methyl bromopyruvate is known for its role as an alkylating agent, particularly in biochemical research, where it can modify proteins and other biomolecules. Its reactivity is largely attributed to the electrophilic nature of the bromine atom, making it useful in synthetic organic chemistry. Additionally, it has been studied for its potential as an inhibitor of certain enzymes, which can have implications in medicinal chemistry. However, due to its brominated structure, it is important to handle methyl bromopyruvate with caution, as it may pose health risks and environmental concerns. Proper safety measures should be taken when working with this compound in laboratory settings.

CAS:<p>Methyl bromopyruvate is a medication with various functions. It can be used to treat viral infections such as hepatitis and AIDS, as well as to treat psychosis and depression. Methyl bromopyruvate has been shown to be an effective antiviral agent that inhibits the synthesis of viral proteins by methylating their amino acids. Methyl bromopyruvate also inhibits the production of fatty acids by blocking the enzyme enolase, which catalyzes the conversion of 2-phosphoglycerate into phosphoenolpyruvate. This drug is metabolized in the liver through conjugation with glutathione or glucuronide or by oxidation to a reactive carbon-centered species.<br>Methyl bromopyruvate is also used for treatment of insulin resistance in patients with type II diabetes mellitus.</p>Formula:C4H5BrO3Purity:Min. 95%Color and Shape:Colourless To Yellow LiquidMolecular weight:180.98 g/mol
