Description

3-Aminopyridine is a compound with the chemical formula C6H5N3. It is used in biological studies as a model for the hydrogen bond, and has been shown to be effective against some bacteria and fungi. 3-Aminopyridine may also have antimicrobial activity. The mechanism of action of 3-aminopyridine is not well understood, but it is thought that this compound might bind to the active site of an enzyme or receptor and deactivate it. 3-Aminopyridine has been found to inhibit dinucleotide phosphate (DNP) reductase, which may play a role in carcinogenesis. There are two nitrogen atoms in 3-aminopyridine, one in the amine group and one in the pyridine ring. The hydroxyl group on the molecule can form hydrogen bonds with other molecules such as hydrochloric acid or hydrogen tartrate, which may be why it reacts with these substances so easily.
