Description
3-mercaptopyruvic acid is a 2-oxo monocarboxylic acid that is pyruvic acid substituted by a sulfanyl group at position 3. It has a role as a mouse metabolite, an Escherichia coli metabolite, a human metabolite and an antidote to cyanide poisoning. It is a thiol and a 2-oxo monocarboxylic acid. It is functionally related to a pyruvic acid. It is a conjugate acid of a 3-mercaptopyruvate.
