Description

4-Benzoylpyridine is a reactive molecule that can undergo electron reduction and protonation. The protonated form of 4-benzoylpyridine has been shown to inhibit the enzyme methionine aminopeptidase, which is involved in the degradation of amino acids. The crystallographic structure of 4-benzoylpyridine was determined by X-ray diffraction and was found to contain nitrogen atoms at the center of its ring. The electron density map showed that there are no hydrogen bonds or lone pairs in 4-benzoylpyridine. This molecule is an inhibitor of the transfer reactions in mitochondria, which are required for ATP synthesis. It has been shown to be cytotoxic to mammalian cells in culture and may have photochemical properties.
