General description

Sodium glyoxylate monohydrate, also known as Glyoxylic acid sodium salt monohydrate, is often utilized in the reductive amination of glyoxylate/pyruvate intermediates and ketoacids with hydroxylamine.

Application


  • Proteomic characterisation of polyethylene terephthalate and monomer degradation by Ideonella sakaiensis.: This paper details the degradation of polyethylene terephthalate and its monomers, highlighting the role of sodium glyoxylate monohydrate as a byproduct in biodegradable polymer production and its implications for environmental sustainability (Poulsen & Nielsen, 2023, Poulsen & Nielsen, 2023).

Sodium glyoxylate monohydrate is used as an intermediate in the transamination reaction in the formation of unstable keto esters during the synthesis of indolo [3,2-a] carbazoles.

In Anopheles gambiae, the most efficient vector of the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum, 3-hydroxykynurenine is endowed with a toxic potential. In adult mosquitoes, the excess of 3-hydroxykynurenine is removed by a specific transaminase (3-hydroxykynurenine transaminase, 3-HKT) which converts the compound
