【Description】
Pyruvic acid is an organic compound, formerly known as coke of sour grapes (Germany Brenztr-aubensure), is involved in one of the intermediate product of the whole organism basic metabolism. Pyruvic Acid can achieve the mutual conversion of sugar, fat and amino acids through the acetyl-CoA and tricarboxylic acid cycle, therefore,itplays an important role in the hub betweenthe three major metabolic metabolism.
Pyruvic Acid is extremely unstable, easily oxidized, weak oxidant Fe and H2O2 canoxidizepyruvate into acetic acid and release carbon dioxide. Pyruvic Acid is an intermediate product in the process of carbohydrate metabolism in organic bodies. It is also a transit point forthemetabolismofprotein and lipid. It is a colorless, irritating odor liquid under natural conditions with a boiling point of 165 ° C (decomposition) and soluble in water.Pyruvic Acid not only has the typical properties of hydroxy acids and ketones, but also has a-keto acid characteristics. Itis the most simple a-keto acid (belonging to the hydroxy acid).
【Function】
Pyruvic Acid is used as the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, amino acids (substrates such as L-tyrosine), etc., which can improve efficiency. Particularly in the pharmaceutical industry, can shorten the flow, simplify processes. Such as 2-phenylcyclohexinic acid made fromPyruvic Acid is an antipyretic analgesic, diuretic. Using itas raw material can greatly reduce the cost of production.
In addition, italsocan beused as anti-TB drugs, isoniazid calcium pyruvate,thesynthesisofhormone,theraw materialsofinsect repellent (Pyrunium Pamote); also used for pesticide raw materials. Usingpyruvate, indole and ammonia as raw materials, biochemical reactions, can produce tryptophan.
