Product Information

• Name: 1-Butyl-4-methylpyridinium chloride
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 1-Butyl-4-methylpyridinium chloride is a pyridine salt that is used for the treatment of osteoporosis. It has been shown to increase the rate of mineralization and reduce the viscosity of beta-amyloid peptide solutions. The biological activity of 1-butyl-4-methylpyridinium chloride has been demonstrated in animal studies, where it was shown to have a significant effect on calcium assays, hydrophilic interaction chromatography, and beta amyloid peptide. This drug also has pharmacokinetic properties that are similar to those of other pyridinium salts. Molecular modeling studies show that 1-butyl-4-methylpyridinium chloride binds well to calcium ions, which may be due to functional groups such as chlorides. This drug also has photocatalytic activity and can be used as a homogeneous catalyst in chromatographic science.
