(2S,6S)-2,6-Dimethylmorpholine is an optically pure compound that can be used to optimize the epoxidase reaction. It belongs to the class of morpholines and has two enantiomers. The (2R,6R)-enantiomer is more active than the (2S,6S)-enantiomer in catalyzing the epoxidase reaction. The temperature optima for both enantiomers are different with the (2R,6R)-enantiomer having a higher optimal temperature than the (2S,6S) enantiomer. This compound can be used as a chiral auxiliary to separate racemic mixtures by focusing on one enantiomer at a time. It can also be used as an analytical method for determining plate number and plate height.

<p>2,6-Dimethoxyisonicotinic acid is a cytotoxic agent that is structurally related to colchicine and combretastatin A-4. It has been shown to induce apoptosis in cancer cells by inhibiting the polymerization of tubulin. This drug also inhibits the proliferation of cancer cells by binding to DNA and disrupting the synthesis of proteins necessary for cell division. The inhibitory effect on protein synthesis may be due to its ability to inhibit the activity of RNA polymerase II and III, which are essential for transcription. 2,6-Dimethoxyisonicotinic acid also induces an anticancer effect through its ability to bind to phenolic moieties and inhibit the growth of cancer cells.</p>
