Figure 4. Some acetate derivatives of biological importance. Acetyl CoA, acetoacetate, β-hydroxybutyrate and dichloroacetate (DCA) are acetate analogs. An evident pharmacological antagonism was reported between acetate and DCA. An evident pharmacological antagonism was reported between ketone bodies and DCA as regard effects on arterial blood pH where DCA treats metabolic acidosis : Dichloroacetate is a Novel Safe Treatment for Beta-ketothiolase Deficiency: Towards Better Therapeutic Outcomes (An Original Article) : Science and Education Publishing
