Description

3-(Methylamino)-3-oxopropanoic acid is a metabolite of nitroprusside. It is a potent inhibitor of the uptake of nitrates by cells, which causes cell lysis. 3-(Methylamino)-3-oxopropanoic acid has been shown to inhibit the uptake and transport chain of amino acids in the human metabolism. This results in an accumulation of metabolites that are toxic to cells and can lead to necrosis. 3-(Methylamino)-3-oxopropanoic acid is also a biocide with anti-inflammatory properties. It inhibits monoclonal antibody production by blocking protein synthesis and has been shown to be effective against tumor growth in animal models.
