Pyruvate is an intermediary organic acid metabolite in glycolysis and the first of the Embden Meyerhoff pathways that can pass readily in or out of the cell. Thus, the addition of sodium pyruvate to tissue culture medium provides both an energy source and a carbon skeleton for anabolic processes. Furthermore, it assists with maintaining certain specialized cells, is useful when cloning, and may be necessary when the serum concentration is reduced in the medium.

Solvent and labile ligand in coordination chemistry

1,2-Dibromo-2,4-dicyanobutane is a chemical substance with antimicrobial properties. It is used as an ingredient in the production of health care products and preservatives for food. 1,2-Dibromo-2,4-dicyanobutane inhibits bacterial growth by preventing the synthesis of fatty acids and proteins. This compound has been shown to have synergistic effects when combined with benzalkonium chloride or potassium dichromate. 1,2-Dibromo-2,4-dicyanobutane has not been found to be carcinogenic in animal studies and does not cause allergic reactions.

1,8-Diazido-3,6-dioxaoctane is a synthetic molecule that is used in the synthesis of macrolactones, polymers, and biomolecules. It can be used as a bioconjugate to attach other functional groups to biomaterials and polymers, such as azido groups. This compound has high sensitivity and thermal stability with good solubility in organic solvents. 1,8-Diazido-3,6-dioxaoctane has been shown to be compatible with many functional groups and is an important monomer for use in cross-linked polymers.

aliphatic diol.  It has been shown to have an inhibitory effect on bacterial growth

Methanesulfinic acid sodium salt (MSAS) is a chemical compound that inhibits the growth of bacteria by inhibiting the synthesis of proteins. It is used as an antimicrobial agent in plant physiology and has been shown to be effective against infectious diseases including HIV infection. MSAS inhibits protein synthesis by binding to the hydroxyl group of a substrate molecule, which is required for amino acid formation. This inhibitory effect leads to a decrease in the production of proteins vital for cell division. Inhibiting protein synthesis also prevents the production of enzymes needed for metabolism, leading to metabolic disorders.

1,2-Diiodoethane is a reactive aliphatic hydrocarbon that inhibits the reaction of fatty acids with iron and carbon disulphide. It has been shown to decrease the formation of unsaturated fatty acids and carbon disulphide by reacting with the alkanoic acid. 1,2-Diiodoethane also reacts with monocarboxylic acid, forming an intermediate that can be reduced by iron to form an unsaturated alkyl. This reaction proceeds through a series of chain reactions in which each reactant is successively reduced until the final products are formed. These products include malonic acid and an unsaturated alkyl.
