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. The directory classifies it as a commercial API with a synthetic source/manufacturing origin. Other names for this substance include Ceresine, Dichloroacetate Sodium and Dca sodium. Its PubChem CID is 517326.
