Methyl pyruvate is a methyl ester derivative of pyruvic acid. Methyl pyruvate induces insulin release and membrane depolarization. Methyl pyruvate rescues proteasome damage and nuclear localization of TdP-43 caused by overexpression of sigma1RE102Q by enhancing ATP synthesis. Methyl pyruvate selectively protects normal lung fibroblasts from cell death induced by Irinotecan (HY-16562). Methyl pyruvate promotes apoptosis and necrosis in cancer cells and downregulates angiogenesis and cell cycle pathways. Methyl pyruvate is an effective substrate for dihydrodihydrogen dehydrogenase.
