Product Information

• Name: 2-Chloropyridine-3,5-dicarbonitrile
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2-Chloropyridine-3,5-dicarbonitrile is a potential drug that can be used as an anionic linker in the synthesis of donepezil. Donepezil is a pharmacological agent that inhibits the enzyme acetylcholinesterase and may be effective in treating Alzheimer's disease. 2-Chloropyridine-3,5-dicarbonitrile has been shown to have good profile against cholinesterase inhibitors. It binds to the active site of acetylcholinesterase and inhibits its activity. This inhibition prevents the breakdown of acetylcholine, which is required for memory and cognitive function. 2-Chloropyridine-3,5-dicarbonitrile also has molecular modeling properties and has been studied at the μm range.
