Diisopropylammonium dichloroacetate has been reported as a hepatoprotective drug that improves the energy metabolism of hepatocytes, promotes the regeneration of injured hepatocytes, increases the rate of tissue cell respiration and oxygen respiration, and reduces the accumulation of fat in the liver. It is known to produce a significant and prolonged hypoglycemic effect in alloxan-diabetic but not in normal rats. The compound's mechanism of action is related to its dichloroacetate moiety, which activates pyruvate dehydrogenase by inhibiting pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase, shifting metabolism from glycolysis to oxidative phosphorylation. This metabolic modulation underlies its hepatoprotective and hypoglycemic effects.
