Pyridine hydrobromide is a quaternary ammonium salt that is used as an electrolyte in the electrochemical cells. It has been shown to inhibit the activity of cytochrome P450 enzymes, which are important for the metabolism of xenobiotic compounds. Pyridine hydrobromide has also been shown to have synergistic effects with other drugs, such as sodium carbonate and l-arabinose, in inhibiting the growth of bacteria in vitro and in vivo. This drug is also able to form acid complexes with metal ions such as zinc and copper, which may be useful for therapeutic purposes where coordination geometry is important.

Pyridine hydrobromide may be used in chemical synthesis studies. Pyridine hydrobromide is quite useful for brominations of ketones on a micro or semimicro scale. This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand.
