Description

3-Bromopyruvic acid is a small molecule that inhibits an enzyme called dextran sulfate reductase. This enzyme is involved in the formation of sulfate in the body and is important for glycolysis, which is the process by which cells break down glucose to produce energy. 3-Bromopyruvic acid inhibits both cancer cells and normal cells, but has a greater effect on cancer cells. This compound also causes caspase-independent cell death, which means that it does not activate pro-apoptotic proteins. It may work by targeting enzymes involved in energy metabolism or by inhibiting DNA polymerase activity.
