- 3-Pyridinecarboxylic Acid, 4-Methyl-, Methyl Ester
- Methyl 4-Methylpyridine-3-Carboxylate
Methyl 4-methylnicotinate is a pyridine drug that has been studied in the field of medicinal chemistry. It is extracted from an extract of Piper longum and can be prepared synthetically by reacting methyl anthranilate with piperidine. Methyl 4-methylnicotinate is a component of the "drug discovery" process, which is the process of finding new drugs for use as pharmaceuticals. This compound belongs to the class of heterocyclic compounds called pyridines, which are aromatic heterocycles. Pyridines are synthesized by two different methods: one method involves the direct synthesis of pyridines from benzene derivatives; another method involves the reaction of aniline with nitrous acid. Methyl 4-methylnicotinate has been studied as a potential treatment for cancer due to its ability to inhibit cell proliferation and induce apoptosis in vitro.
