Note
Wherever possible, you should prepare and use solutions on the same day. However, if you need to make up stock solutions in advance, we recommend that you store the solution as aliquots in tightly sealed vials at -20°C. Generally, these will be useable for up to one month. Before use, and prior to opening the vial we recommend that you allow your product to equilibrate to room temperature for at least 1 hour.

Product Description
Sodium oxamate is an inhibitor of gluconeogenesis and glycolysis. As cancer cells are often dependent on glycolysis for ATP production, sodium oxamate has implications as an anticancer compound. An inhibitor of gluconeogenesis useful for anticancer research
Application Sodium oxamate, an inhibitor of LDH-C4, prevented the AR induced by lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) or NADH. Oxamic acid sodium salt is an lactic acid dehydrogenase. Sperm suspension and cytosol fraction activities were inhibited by sodium oxamate. As cancer cells are often dependent on glycolysis for ATP production, sodium oxamate has implications as an anticancer compound.
