CAS 31915-82-9: anti-pyruvic aldehyde 1-oxime

2-Oxopropanal oxime is a coordination compound that has been shown to be an effective catalyst for the oxidation of hydrochloric acid to hydrogen chloride and methane. It has also been found to have a protective effect against the nerve agent sarin. 2-Oxopropanal oxime binds to the active site of the enzyme acetylcholinesterase, which breaks down acetylcholine, preventing its action on muscle cells and leading to paralysis. The reaction mechanism of 2-Oxopropanal oxime is not well understood, but it is hypothesized that it may involve a pyridinium intermediate. This compound has been investigated as a possible treatment for metabolic disorders, such as obesity and type II diabetes, due to its ability to stimulate detoxification enzymes in the liver. 2-Oxopropanal oxime is also used in plant biotechnology as an expression plasmid because it allows plants to produce large quantities of proteins with signal pept
