Produktinformation

• Name: Ethyl 2-(pyridin-2-yl)acetate
• Marke: Biosynth
• Beschreibung: Ethyl 2-(pyridin-2-yl)acetate is a nitrogen-containing compound that has been shown to have anticancer potential. It was found to induce apoptosis in breast cancer cells by causing the release of cytochrome c from mitochondria and activating caspases 3, which are enzymes involved in the process of programmed cell death. Ethyl 2-(pyridin-2-yl)acetate also inhibits topoisomerase II, an enzyme that helps to maintain the integrity of DNA. The anticancer activity of this compound may be due to its ability to inhibit mitochondrial membrane potential and cause chloride efflux from cells. This leads to a decrease in the rate of ATP production, thereby inhibiting cancer proliferation. Ethyl 2-(pyridin-2-yl)acetate is also known as ethyl pyridine-2-carboxylate and can be synthesized by reacting hydrochloric acid with quinolizines.
