Description

Sodium dichloroacetate is a metabolic regulator in cancer cells' mitochondria with anticancer activity. Sodium dichloroacetate inhibits PDHK, resulting in decreased lactic acid in the tumor microenvironment. Sodium dichloroacetate increases reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and promotes cancer cell apoptosis. Sodium dichloroacetate also works as NKCC inhibitor[1].


Sodium Dichloroacetate is the sodium salt of dichloroacetic acid with potential antineoplastic activity. Dichloroacetate ion inhibits pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase, resulting in the inhibition of glycolysis and a decrease in lactate production. This agent may stimulate apoptosis in cancer cells by restoring normal mitochondrial-induced apoptotic signaling.|A derivative of ACETIC ACID that contains two CHLORINE atoms attached to its methyl group.

Sodium dichloroacetate Use and Manufacturing

Methods of Manufacturing

A solution of Cl2CHCO2H (135 μL, 1.64 mmol) in H2O (2 mL) was treated with 1.00 M NaOH(1.60 mL, 1.60 mmol) and stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. Volatiles were then removedunder vacuum and the yellowish residue was suspended in acetone. The suspension was filtered andthe resulting colorless solid was washed with acetone and dried under vacuum. Yield: 227 mg, 96percent.

Uses

Sodium dichloroacetate (DCA) is a mitochondrial pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase inhibitor, and is an orally absorbable small molecular compound for MELAS syndrome, and children with congenital lactic acidosis and other diseases that are treated in the clinic. Recent studies had found that DCA acts as a potential vasoprotective agent by inhibiting PDK2 and reducing coronary endarterium proliferation. Further, DCA promotes brain regeneration after cerebral ischemia, which indicates that DCA might play an important role in VD.
Treatment of neurologic injury (pyruvate dehydrogenase activator).
