3-Bromopyruvic acid

3-Bromopyruvate (Bromopyruvic acid) is an analogue of pyruvate and a potent hexokinase (HK)-II inhibitor with high tumor selectivity. 3-Bromopyruvate inhibits cell growth and induces apoptosis through interfering with glycolysis. 3-Bromopyruvate induces autophagy by stimulating ROS formation in breast cancer cells. Antimicrobial activities.

How to use

In Vitro:

3-Bromopyruvate enhances TRAIL-induced apoptosis in breast cancer cells. 3-Bromopyruvate (Bromopyruvic acid), a hexokinase II inhibitor, can induce apoptosis in hepatocellular carcinoma cells by inducing endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. 3-Bromopyruvate inhibits ATP generation and upregulates the expression of DR5. 3-Bromopyruvate upregulates CHOP, GRP78 and the phosphorylation of AMPK and augments TRAIL-induced Bax and caspase-3 levels.

In Vivo:

3-Bromopyruvate (8 mg/kg; i.p.; every 4 days for 28 days) shows a synergistic antitumor effect in MCF-7 cell xenografts in nude mice.
