(±)-3-Methyl-2-oxovaleric acid sodium salt is a mixture of the D- and L-3-methyl-2-oxovaleric acids. 3-methyl-2-oxovaleric acid is used as a substrate to study the specificity, distribution and kinetics of Î±-keto acid dehydrogenases. Î±-keto-Î²-methylvaleric acid is used to inhibit the mitochondrial Î±-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex (KGDHC) to induce and study nerve cell death. Î±-keto-Î²-methylvaleric acid may be studied as a reactive oxygen scavenger.
