Sodium Oxamate

Sodium oxamate is a derivative of pyruvate that inhibits the conversion of pyruvate to lactate via lactate dehydrogenase, thus disrupting glycolysis. Because cancer cells produce a large amount of energy via aerobic glycolysis, sodium oxamate has been studied as an inhibitor of carbohydrate metabolism in various tumors.Formal Name: 2-amino-2-oxo-acetic acid, monosodium salt.
