Description

DCCD is a chemical inhibitor of the enzyme pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase that is used to study metabolic pathways. It inhibits the activity of this enzyme by binding reversibly to its active site, thereby blocking its phosphorylation of pyruvate dehydrogenase and thus inhibiting the conversion of pyruvate into acetyl-CoA. DCCD also has been shown to have antidiabetic effects in an experimental model. This drug has been used as a reagent for polymyxin B and other chemical inhibitors in vitro experiments.
