Spontaneous hydrolysis and spurious metabolic properties of α-ketoglutarate esters

Analogues of α-ketoglutarate are used in many cellular studies but assumptions are made about cellular uptake. Here, the authors show that esterified analogues rapidly hydrolyse in aqueous medium resulting in an analogue which can be quickly taken up by many cell lines, contrary to prevailing assump...
