| Description | Dichloroacetic acid, also known as dichloroacetate or dichloressigsaeure, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as alpha-halocarboxylic acids. These are carboxylic acids containing a halogen atom bonded to the alpha carbon atom. The salts and esters of dichloroacetic acid are called dichloroacetates. Dichloroacetic acid is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. Dichloroacetic acid is formally rated as a possible carcinogen (by IARC 2B) and is also a potentially toxic compound. Dichloroacetic acid, often abbreviated DCA, is an acid analogue of acetic acid in which two of the three hydrogen atoms of the methyl group have been replaced by chlorine atoms. There is an extensive and consistent data base demonstrating the reproductive toxicity of DCA in males and females. A phase 1 study in 5 patients concluded that DCA was safe, but wasn't designed to establish effectiveness. Early reports of its activity against brain cancer cells led patients to treat themselves with DCA, which is commercially available in non-pharmaceutical grade. Multiple independent studies demonstrate that DCA has the ability to alter normal carbohydrate metabolism. Sodium Dichloroacetate is found in Apis cerana and Asparagopsis taxiformis. Sodium Dichloroacetate was first documented in 2014 (PMID: 24112699). Thus, it decreases lactate production by shifting the metabolism of pyruvate from fermentation towards oxidation in the mitochondria. |
