Description

Methyl pyruvate is an important intermediate in the metabolism of pyruvate. It is synthesized by the reaction of pyruvate with methanol. Methyl pyruvate has been shown to have a number of biological effects, including inhibition of cancer cell growth and protection against oxidative stress. It is also being investigated as a potential therapeutic agent for diabetes. Methyl pyruvate is studied because it is a key intermediate in the metabolism of pyruvate, which is a central molecule in cellular energy production. It is also being investigated as a potential therapeutic agent for diabetes and other diseases.'
