Description

2-Cyanopropionic acid ethyl ester is a monomer, soluble guanylate cyclase activator that alkylates the active methylene group of guanylate cyclase. It has been shown to be active against infectious diseases such as dengue fever, malaria and tuberculosis. 2-Cyanopropionic acid ethyl ester is a ruthenium complex that interacts with ferrocene and fatty acids to form an activated methylene group. This bond cleavage leads to the formation of an electron deficient molecule that binds to DNA and inhibits the synthesis of RNA by blocking the binding site for RNA polymerase.
