5-methylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-2-carboxylic acid

Description:
5-Methylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-2-carboxylic acid is a heterocyclic organic compound characterized by its fused imidazole and pyridine rings, along with a carboxylic acid functional group. This compound is part of a class of substances known for their potential mutagenic and carcinogenic properties, often found in cooked meats and certain food products. Its structure includes a methyl group at the 5-position of the imidazo ring, which influences its chemical reactivity and biological activity. The presence of the carboxylic acid group contributes to its solubility in polar solvents and can participate in various chemical reactions, such as esterification and amidation. This compound is of interest in food chemistry and toxicology due to its formation during the cooking process of amino acids and sugars at high temperatures. Additionally, it may serve as a model compound for studying the mechanisms of mutagenesis and the effects of dietary carcinogens on human health. Safety data sheets and regulatory guidelines should be consulted for handling and exposure information.
