[{"from": "human", "value": "Could you give me a brief overview of this molecule? [C][Branch1][=Branch1][C][=Branch1][C][=O][O-1][Branch1][C][Cl][Cl].[Na+1]"}, {"from": "gpt", "value": "The molecule is the sodium salt of dichloroacetic acid with potential antineoplastic activity. Dichloroacetate ion inhibits pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase, resulting in the inhibition of glycolysis and a decrease in lactate production. This agent may stimulate apoptosis in cancer cells by restoring normal mitochondrial-induced apoptotic signaling."}]
