Compounds and compositions comprising compounds that modulate pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2) are described herein. Also described herein are methods of using the compounds that modulate PKM2 in the treatment of cancer.

To provide lipase activity determination reagents which function by the enzymatic method. The reagents are easy to use in an ordinary clinical examination, have excellent handleability, and are excellent in accuracy and reproducibility. Lipase activity is determined with any of reagents which comprise a low-concentration buffer and a diglyceride dissolved therein. The diglyceride is used as a substrate for lipase, whereby the liquid reagents can have long-term storage stability. One of the reagents converts a monoglyceride yielded by a lipase reaction into glycerol with the aid of monoglyceride lipase, and further contains glycerol kinase, pyruvate kinase, lactate dehydrogenase, reduced NAD, ATP, and phosphoenol pyruvate. Another reagent converts a monoglyceride yielded by a lipase reaction into glycerol with the aid of monoglyceride lipase, and further contains glycerol kinase, glucose, ADP-dependent hexokinase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, oxidized NAD or oxidized NADP, and ATP. A further reagent converts a monoglyceride yielded by a lipase reaction into glycerol with the aid of monoglyceride lipase, and further contains glycerol kinase, glycero-3-phosphate oxidase, peroxidase, and a dye which colors in the presence of hydrogen peroxide.

Disclosed are pyruvate kinase M2 activators, which are, bis sulfonamide piperazinyl compounds of Formula (I) and 2,4-disubstituted 4H-thieno[3,2-b]pyrrole-2-(substituted benzyl)pyridazin-3(2H)ones of Formula (II), wherein L and R1 to R16 are as defined herein, that are useful in treating a number of diseases that are treatable by the activation of PKM2, for example, cancer and anemia,
