3D-XEC09641 - 6-ethynylimidazo12-apyrazine | 1372096-41-7

2-Cyanopyrazine is a molecule that belongs to the group of nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds. It has been shown to exhibit antiinflammatory activity in skin cancer cells and bacterial strain, group P2. This compound inhibits the growth of bacteria by binding to their pyrazinoic acid, which is an electron acceptor. 2-Cyanopyrazine also exhibits tuberculostatic activity against M. tuberculosis and M. avium complex by inhibiting the synthesis of mycolic acids and cell wall lipids, respectively. The redox cycle of this compound is coordinated with a hydrogen bond between the hydroxyl group and the carbonyl carbon atom. 2-Cyanopyrazine is oxidized from its initial state through a reaction mechanism involving molecular oxygen or hydrogen peroxide as an oxidant and water as a reductant. The oxidation products can be reduced back to 2-cyanoapyrazine using ascorbate or NADH as
