6-mercaptonicotinic acid

Description:
6-Mercaptonicotinic acid is a chemical compound characterized by the presence of a mercapto (-SH) group and a pyridine ring, specifically at the 6-position of the nicotinic acid structure. This compound is known for its potential applications in medicinal chemistry and biochemistry, particularly due to its ability to act as a thiol donor, which can influence redox reactions and metal ion chelation. It is typically a solid at room temperature and is soluble in polar solvents, reflecting its polar functional groups. The mercapto group imparts unique reactivity, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic substitutions and the formation of disulfide bonds. Additionally, 6-mercaptonicotinic acid may exhibit biological activity, making it of interest in drug development and research related to enzyme inhibition or modulation. Safety data should be consulted for handling, as thiol compounds can be sensitive to oxidation and may have specific toxicity profiles.
