Description

2-Hydroxy-5-nitropyridine is a chemical compound that is used in the synthesis of other compounds. It can be used to synthesize nicotinic acetylcholine, which is an amine that binds to nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. 2-Hydroxy-5-nitropyridine has been shown to react with halides and hydroxy groups to form new compounds. 2-Hydroxypyridine can also be used to synthesize trifluoroacetic acid from chloroacetic acid and nitrous acid. This chemical has been used in the study of replicon cells, which are cells that contain a circular piece of DNA called a plasmid. Replicon cells are often found in bacteria, such as Trichomonas vaginalis, and viruses such as HPV.
2-Hydroxypyridine has been shown to cause high blood levels in humans when ingested orally or injected intravenously.
