3H-Imidazo[4,5-c]pyridin-4-amine,N-methyl-

Description:

3H-Imidazo[4,5-c]pyridin-4-amine, N-methyl- (CAS 98858-10-7) is a heterocyclic organic compound characterized by its imidazo[4,5-c]pyridine core, which features a fused ring system containing nitrogen atoms. This compound typically exhibits properties associated with nitrogen-containing heterocycles, such as potential basicity due to the presence of amino groups. The N-methyl substitution enhances its lipophilicity, which may influence its biological activity and solubility in organic solvents. It is often studied for its potential applications in medicinal chemistry, particularly in the development of pharmaceuticals, as compounds with similar structures have been associated with various biological activities, including anti-inflammatory and anticancer properties. The compound's molecular structure contributes to its reactivity and interaction with biological targets, making it of interest in drug discovery and development. As with many heterocycles, it may also exhibit fluorescence or other spectroscopic properties, which can be useful in analytical chemistry. Safety and handling precautions should be observed, as with all chemical substances, due to potential toxicity or reactivity.
