Description and Uses
2-Aminopyridine is used primarily in the pharmaceutical industry as an intermediate in chemical synthesis. It is used to manufacturing analgesic and anti-inflammatory drugs piroxicam and lornoxicam. 2-Aminopyridine is a basic building block of several heterocyclic compounds and Schiff bases. It has been shown to reversibly block voltage-dependent potassium channels, and is also a common impurity from the synthesis of compounds found in hair dyes. It is a derivatizing agent which can be used as a fluorescent label for oligosaccharide detection, chromatographic separation, fluorometric or mass spectrometric analysis. 2AP and its derivatives are good candidates for antimicrobial, anticorrosion and molecular sensing applications.
