Pyruvate kinase deficiency is a rare, hereditary, chronic condition that is associated with hemolytic anemia. In a phase 2 study, mitapivat, an oral, first-in-class activator of erythrocyte pyruvate ...

Chemists have developed an organic catalyst that can drive reactions using pyruvate -- a key biomolecule in many metabolic pathways -- that are difficult and complicated to achieve using conventional ...

Fifty years since its discovery, scientists have finally worked out how a molecular machine found in mitochondria, the 'powerhouses' of our cells, allows us to make the fuel we need from sugars, a ...

Scientists led by a team at the Medical Research Council (MRC) Mitochondrial Biology Unit, University of Cambridge, have worked out how a molecular machine found in mitochondria—the “powerhouses” of ...

The FDA has approved Pyrukynd (mitapivat) for the treatment of hemolytic anemia in adults with pyruvate kinase deficiency. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved Pyrukynd ® (mitapivat) ...

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has accepted for Priority Review the New Drug Application for SL1009 (sodium dichloroacetate oral solution) for the treatment of pyruvate dehydrogenase complex ...
