Product Information

• Name: 6-Chloro-2-cyano-3-nitropyridine
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 6-Chloro-2-cyano-3-nitropyridine is a modified pyridine derivative that has been shown to be an antagonist of the adenosine receptors. 6-Chloro-2-cyano-3-nitropyridine blocks the binding of adenosine to A1 and A2A receptors, which leads to increased levels of cyclic AMP in cells. This compound can be used as an antiviral agent or as a component in the development of a new generation of drugs for the treatment of malaria. 6-Chloro-2-cyano-3-nitropyridine has also been shown to be active against HIV, inhibiting its replication and preventing viral assembly. The drug’s mechanism of action is not yet fully understood, but it may involve interference with viral replication by binding to sulfinyl groups on proteins required for virus assembly.
