Description

6-Methyl-2-pyridinemethanamine is an imine that is used in cancer therapy. It has been shown to have antitumor activity at nanomolar concentrations, which is a very low dose. 6-Methyl-2-pyridinemethanamine is not sensitive to the body's enzymes and does not show any signs of toxicity. This drug also has a pharmacokinetic profile that enhances the uptake of other drugs and can be used for the treatment of cancers that are resistant to chemotherapy. The mechanism of action of 6-methyl-2-pyridinemethanamine is constitutive activation, which means it binds to the constitutively active site on the protein target and inhibits its function.
