Potent inhibitor of the mitochondrial pyruvate carrier (MPC) .1 Rapidly increases glucose uptake in human monocytes.2 Attenuates mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation and increases glycolysis creating greater stem-like properties in LnCap prostate cancer cells.3 Blocks the neuroprotective action of L-lactate or pyruvate during glutamate-induced excitotoxicity.4 Inhibits pyruvate transport across the plasma membrane of trypanosomes (Ki=49 μM) .5
