Alpha-ketoglutaric acid is an essential building block in the citrate cycle and nitrogen transport. It is a dicarboxylic acid and a derivative of n-pentane. It is usually present in the form of colorless and odorless crystals. From a pharmaceutical point of view, alpha-ketoglutaric acid is not yet used as a drug - except in homeopathic remedies. However, it is already the subject of intensive research and is said to help with metabolic disorders and obesity, among other things. Recent studies have demonstrated a muscle protein-building effect that can help patients rebuild muscle after surgery.

Alpha-ketoglutaric acid is an intermediate in the citrate cycle and is converted into succinyl coenzyme A by a dehydrogenase. As a nitrogen transporter, amino groups of amino acids can be attached to the respective molecule and thus transported to the liver, where they then act in the urea cycle.
