Product Information

• Name: 2-Hydroxyisonicotinic acid
• Synonyms: 2-Hydroxy-4-pyridinecarboxylic acid4-Carboxy-2(1H)-pyridinone
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2-Hydroxyisonicotinic acid is a synthetic analog of isonicotinic acid that is used as a nonheme iron chelator. It has been shown to inhibit the growth of cavity-causing bacteria in vitro by binding to iron enzymes, such as methane monooxygenase and n-oxide reductase. 2-Hydroxyisonicotinic acid inhibits bacterial growth by binding to the enzyme complexes containing iron, thereby inhibiting the synthesis of fatty acids and pyridine compounds. X-ray crystal structures have also shown that this compound binds to the nonheme iron at two sites, which may explain its ability to inhibit bacterial growth.
