Gene Information

General description

Sodium dichloroacetate is a mitochondrial pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase (PDK) inhibitor that exhibits potent anti-leukemic activity.[1][2][3]

Application

Sodium dichloroacetate can be used as an organic salt precursor for synthesizing microporous carbon that is useful in developing carbon-based adsorbents.[4]

  3. I have heard that dichloroacetate has been used for cancer treatment.  Is Product 347795, Sodium dichloroacetate, the same chemical?

    1 answer
    1. Some research studies on the use of dichloroacetate as an anti-cancer agent have been performed.  At this time, no dichloroacetate compound or product has been approved for use as an anti-cancer drug.  The common salts of dichloroacetate are sodium and potassium, and these are what have been used in the research studies.  The Sigma-Aldrich products 347795, Sodium Dichloroacetate, and 348082, Potassium Dichloroacetate, are offered for laboratory use only, and are not manufactured or intended for human use.
