Description

2-Chloro-6-methylnicotinic acid is a protonated nicotinic acid derivative with potent inhibitory activity against hepatitis C virus. It has been shown to inhibit the replication of the virus by competitive inhibition at the 2-chloro-6-methylnicotinic acid site on the viral genome. It also inhibits the synthesis of viral proteins, which are necessary for viral replication. The molecule has been shown to have an inhibitory effect on other RNA viruses such as influenza and HIV, but it is not active against DNA viruses such as herpes simplex or adenovirus. 2-Chloro-6-methylnicotinic acid is absorbed orally and its pharmacokinetic properties are well understood. This compound can be used as a probe in supramolecular chemistry to study hydrogen bonding and biomolecular interactions.
