Description

Phenyl pyruvic acid is a sodium salt of phenylpyruvic acid that can be synthesized from phenylalanine, an amino acid. It has been shown to have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Phenyl pyruvic acid was found to inhibit oxidative injury caused by sodium nitroprusside in the rat brain, liver, and heart. Phenyl pyruvic acid also increased the activity of 3t3-l1 preadipocytes and improved energy metabolism in these cells. The synthesis of phenylpyruvate is catalyzed by a decarboxylase enzyme and it can be converted into insulin or phenylalanine.
