2-(Hydroxymethyl)pyridine

CAS: 586-98-1

2-(Hydroxymethyl)pyridine is a metal chelate that has been shown to be a potent inhibitor of picolinic acid amidohydrolase. This enzyme is responsible for the conversion of picolinic acid to nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD), which is a cofactor in the citric acid cycle. The 2-(hydroxymethyl)pyridine-picolinic acid complex inhibits the activity of this enzyme, blocking the conversion of NAD into nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP). This inhibition leads to higher levels of NAD and lower levels of NADP, which may lead to an increase in metabolic activity by increasing the availability of ATP. 2-(Hydroxymethyl)pyridine has been shown to have immunosuppressive properties, as well as anti-inflammatory properties. It also has been shown to be effective against bowel disease and infectious diseases.
