Description

2-Isocyanatopyridine is a synthetic chemical that has been shown to be an effective anti-cancer agent. It is a hemibasic, heterocyclic compound with two isomers, cis and trans. The cis form exhibits more potent antitumor activity than the trans form. 2-Isocyanatopyridine has been synthesized using mesoporous silica, which provides the molecule with a high surface area and good adsorption properties. Hydrogen bonding between the isocyanate group and hydrogen atoms in the naphthyridine ring are responsible for its functionalizing effects. 2-Isocyanatopyridine binds to receptors on cancer cells and inhibits cell proliferation by interfering with cell signaling pathways.
2-Isocyanatopyridine has been shown to inhibit tumor growth in mice bearing human colon carcinoma xenografts.
