Description:2-Ketobutyric acid is a chemical compound that is an intermediate in the metabolism of amino acids. It can be synthesized from malic acid and glutamic acid by asymmetric synthesis. 2-Ketobutyric acid inhibits the production of ATP, leading to metabolic inhibition. Sprague-Dawley rats were used to prove this theory. 2-Ketobutyric acid has also been shown to inhibit insulin resistance and cell culture. Hydrogen bonds between 2-ketobutyric acid and the enzyme glutamate dehydrogenase are thought to be responsible for this effect on glucose uptake and conversion into energy.
