Bioactivity | Oxamic acid (oxamate) sodium salt is a lactate dehydrogenase-A (LDH-A) inhibitor. Oxamic acid sodium salt shows anti-tumor activity, and anti-proliferative activity against cancer cells, and can induce apoptosis[1][2][3]. |
Invitro | Oxamic acid suppresses the proliferation, migration and invasion of both A2780 and SKOV3 cells[1].Oxamic acid (10 μM; 24-72 h) inhibits cell proliferation in a dose- and time-dependent manner in both NPC cancer cells[2].Oxamic acid (0-100 mM; 24 h) induces cell cycle arrest in the G2/M phase in CNE-1 and CNE-2 cells[2].Oxamic acid (0-100 mM; 48 h) induces apoptosis via caspase-3 activation and the mitochondrial pathway in NPC cells[2].Oxamic acid (0-100 mM; 24 h) increases ROS levels in NPC cells[2].
