• Description: Pyruvic acid is a natural compound that is found in the cell nuclei and is an important component of energy metabolism. Pyruvic acid has been shown to be a component of complex enzymes like pyruvate dehydrogenase, which converts pyruvic acid into pyruvate. The sodium salt of pyruvic acid has been used as a drug for bowel disease, but it also has biochemical properties that may be useful in treating mitochondrial membrane potential and DNA binding activity. Pyruvic acid can form hydrogen bonding interactions with dna bases and inhibit cancerous activity.
