Description

5-Cyanopyridine-2-carboxylic acid is a small molecule that has been found to have significant biological activity in a number of different areas, including neurotherapeutics. It is the result of a scalable synthesis and is soluble in water. The molecule has two chiral centers and can exist as four different stereoisomers (enantiomers). In vitro studies show that 5-cyanopyridine-2-carboxylic acid inhibits fatty acid uptake by blocking the proton pump, which transports lipids into cells. This compound also binds to the cytosolic protein pyrazine 2-carboxylic acid receptor 1 (PYZR1), which may provide an explanation for its effects on fatty acid uptake.
