Description

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.
Methyl bromopyruvate is also used for treatment of insulin resistance in patients with type II diabetes mellitus.
