Dimethyl succinate
Based on 2 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Dimethyl succinate is an orally active cell permeable succinate analogue. Dimethyl succinate can disrupt the TCA cycle by elevating intracellular succinate levels, leading to reduced protein synthesis and impairs myogenic differentiation. Dimethyl succinate can induce apoptosis. Dimethyl succinate can decrease maximal cellular respiration and reserve capacity. Dimethyl succinate can rescue synapse loss in AD. Dimethyl succinate can be used for the researches of metabolic and neurological disease[1][2].
