Product Information

• Name: Imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-2-carbohydrazide
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-2-carbohydrazide is a synthetic compound that is used as an enhancer in organic synthesis. It has been shown to produce bathochromic shifts in the UV-visible spectra of ethyl esters and to be useful for identifying c. parapsilosis, a fungus that causes a form of erythema toxicum in infants. The anticancer activity of this compound has been demonstrated in vitro against cancer cells from different species, including human breast cancer cells. This anticancer activity may be due to its ability to inhibit microsporum and t. rubrum growth by inhibiting protein synthesis or DNA replication. Imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-2-carbohydrazide is also capable of binding to DNA through hydrogen bonding interactions with the amine group on the N7 position of guanine residues and with the carbonyl group on the C5
