Sodium metaperiodate, or sodium m-periodate, is a mild oxidant that is routinely used for the conversion of cis -glycol groups in carbohydrates to reactive aldehdye groups (Figure 1).The reactive aldehyde groups are used in chemical conjugation procedures or detection of carbohydrates.For…

Sodium Oxamate is a known glycolysis inhibitor. It inhibits the conversion of pyruvate to lactate via lactate dehydrogenase (LDH). Sodium oxamate has been studied as an inhibitor of carbohydrate metabolism in various tumors, as cancer cells are often dependent on glycolysis for ATP production. …
