Building Blocks

2,2'-Dithiodianiline is a redox-active molecule with a redox potential of -0.08 V. It has been shown to inhibit the polymerase chain reaction by binding to DNA and inhibiting the enzyme DNA polymerase. 2,2'-Dithiodianiline is a potent inhibitor of bacterial growth in vitro, and has been shown to be cytotoxic in vivo. 2,2'-Dithiodianiline inhibits the growth of resistant mutants that are resistant to other antibiotics such as penicillin and ampicillin. This compound binds to molybdenum at an optimum concentration of 0.5 mM and coordinates through electrostatic interactions with the molybdenum atom. Structural analysis reveals that 2,2'-dithiodianiline forms hydrogen bonds with adenine residues in DNA and interacts with guanine residues in RNA through π-π stacking interactions. This interaction prevents transcription by blocking the binding

(R)-4-Boc-2-methylpiperazine is a picolinamide dehydrogenase inhibitor that is used to treat type 2 diabetes. It has been shown to reduce blood glucose levels in animal models and human subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The mechanism of action is thought to be via inhibition of the 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, which increases insulin sensitivity. This drug also has good oral bioavailability, does not cause weight gain, and has an acceptable safety profile.

Aminoguanidine is a drug that inhibits the activity of the enzyme guanidinoacetate methyltransferase (GAMT). It is used to treat some types of cancer, such as bladder cancer. Aminoguanidine has been shown to inhibit tumour growth and induce apoptosis in animal models. It has also been reported to be effective in a number of other cancers, including breast cancer, prostate cancer and colon cancer. Aminoguanidine binds with high affinity to protein targets, including x-ray crystallography, magnetic resonance imaging and devices. The binding site on the ligand is highly conserved among different proteins, which may explain the broad spectrum of its activity. Aminoguanidine is dose-dependent and can be administered either stepwise or as one large dose.

2-Amino-4-bromopyridine is a potent, selective antagonist of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) that has been shown to inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells in vitro. 2-Amino-4-bromopyridine binds to the nAChR and stabilizes it by binding to an allosteric site on the receptor. 2-Amino-4-bromopyridine is synthesized from 4,5-dibromobenzene and 2,6-diaminopyridine in two steps with a yield of 47%. The synthesis of 2-amino-4-bromopyridine proceeds via reaction mechanism involving electrophilic substitution at the bromine atom followed by nucleophilic addition at the nitrogen atom.

2-Acetylbenzoic acid is a functional molecule that contains an acetyl group. It can form hydrogen bonds with other molecules and has been shown to induce apoptosis in cells. The reaction products of 2-acetylbenzoic acid are malonic acid, acetylsalicylic acid, and 2-benzoylbenzoic acid. These three compounds are made by the addition of hydrogen or hydroxide to the molecule 2-acetylbenzoic acid. The molecule has two functional groups: a carbonyl group and an acetyl group. The chemical structure of this molecule can be seen in the figure below.

2-Aminoimidazole sulfate is a chemical compound that is used as a transfection reagent. It has been shown to have high transfection efficiency with low cytotoxicity. The diameter of the molecule is in the range of 2 - 3 nm, which allows it to be taken up by cells and thus be active in them. This chemical can be dehydrogenated to form imidazole-2-sulfonic acid, which may interact with other molecules. There have been many advances in this area, including modifications and gaseous forms of the molecule. Research into the interactions of this compound with other chemicals and their effects on cellular uptake are ongoing.
