Description

6-Methoxyquinoline is a n-oxide that has been shown to be a potent inhibitor of proton pumps. This compound binds to the active site of the proton pumps and inhibits the enzyme's ability to pump protons across membranes. 6-Methoxyquinoline can be used in the treatment of acid reflux, ulcers, and other conditions caused by excess stomach acid production. 6-Methoxyquinoline's strong binding affinity for copper leads to its rapid reaction with this metal. This reaction produces a copper complex which is highly sensitive to light and can be detected at low concentrations. 6-Methoxyquinoline also forms hydrogen bonds with nitrogen atoms on the enzyme target and hydroxyl groups on cationic surfactants, resulting in high values for detection sensitivity. The pyrazole ring allows for intramolecular hydrogen bonding between nitrogen atom side chains on adjacent molecules, which stabilizes this molecule's structure.
