👉 In the context of pharmacology, a pyrobituminous compound is a type of organic compound that has been identified as a potential drug or bioactive ingredient. Pyrobituminous compounds are characterized by their ability to catalyze the oxidation of pyruvate to form acetyl-CoA and water. This process is known as pyruvate dehydrogenase reductase (PDHR), which is an enzyme involved in the metabolism of acetyl-CoA, a
