2-Mercaptopyridine is a quinone that has been used as an inhibitor of the HIV reverse transcriptase enzyme. It binds to the active site of the enzyme and inhibits its activity by forming a stable covalent bond with two cysteine residues in the enzyme. The molecule is stabilized by two adjacent sulfide bonds, which form a six-membered ring with three nitrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. This ring coordinates to the zinc ion in the active site of the enzyme. 2-Mercaptopyridine has also been found to be effective against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Mycobacterium tuberculosis. 2-Mercaptopyridine binds to DNA at positions where it is complementary to guanine or adenine nucleotides, thus preventing RNA synthesis and replication.
