Description

Trifluoropyruvic acid ethyl ester is a synthetic compound and an enantiopure ligand for coordination chemistry. It is activated by the addition of hydroxyl groups to the molecule, which can be achieved with hydrochloric acid. Trifluoropyruvic acid ethyl ester has been shown to form stable complexes with metal ions, such as copper and zinc. This complex has been shown to bind to receptors in biological systems, including non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents. Trifluoropyruvic acid ethyl ester binds to receptors on cell membranes by intermolecular hydrogen bonding between the phenolic hydroxyl group and the receptor's aromatic ring system, which induces conformational changes in the receptor protein that leads to its activation or inhibition.
