Description

DL-lactic acid is a metabolic intermediate that is produced in the muscle cells during anaerobic glycolysis. It is used to treat cancer and has been shown to be effective against squamous cell carcinoma. DL-lactic acid also inhibits mitochondrial membrane potential, which may be one of the mechanisms by which it causes cell death. DL-lactic acid has been found to have antibacterial efficacy against a number of bacteria, including Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis, Escherichia coli, Proteus mirabilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Streptococcus pyogenes. DL-lactic acid also inhibits enzyme activities that are necessary for bacterial growth such as phosphotransferase enzymes and urease. DL-lactic acid is a metabolic intermediate that can be used to inhibit tumor growth and metastasis. DL-lactic acid also inhibits transcriptional regulation in human serum
