Product Information
2-(2-Aminopyridin-1-ium-1-yl)acetate is an antibiotic drug that belongs to the heterocyclic group of antibiotics. It inhibits bacterial growth by binding to the enzyme, hypophosphorous acid reductase, which is required for the synthesis of nucleotides and phospholipids. This molecule has been shown to have synergistic effects with other antibiotics such as carboxylic acids and pyridine compounds. 2-(2-Aminopyridin-1-ium-1-yl)acetate is synthesized through a sequence of reactions that involve intramolecular hydrogen bonding between its carboxylate group and the pyridine ring. The crystal structure of this molecule has been determined by x-ray crystallography at a resolution of 1.8 Ångströms.
