Product Information

• Name: 3-Cyanopyridine
• Synonyms: 3-Pyridinecarbonitrile
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 3-Cyanopyridine is an antimicrobial agent that can be used in the treatment of infectious diseases. It has been shown to be effective against a variety of bacteria, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Streptococcus pneumoniae. 3-Cyanopyridine also shows biological activity against autoimmune diseases, such as murine hepatitis, by inhibiting the proliferation of B cells and T cells. This drug is not effective against cancer cells because it does not inhibit DNA synthesis or protein synthesis. 3-Cyanopyridine has been shown to have a number of pharmacological effects: it inhibits the production of prostaglandin E2 and nitric oxide in congestive heart failure patients; it prevents the formation of diazonium salt from benzene and nitrogen dioxide; it inhibits the growth of tumor cell lines; and it protects mice from radiation injury by scavenging reactive oxygen species.
