2-(Aminomethyl)pyrazine

2-Aminomethylpyrazine (2-AP) is a molecule that has been studied for its potential as an anti-cancer agent. It has been shown to bind to the DNA of tumor cells and prevent them from dividing, leading to cell death. 2-AP also prevents the production of survivin, which is a protein that promotes cancer cell growth and survival. 2-AP can be used in positron emission tomography (PET) scans to detect tumors, and has shown promise in treating acute myeloid leukemia.

Applications 2-(Aminomethyl)pyrazine is a useful synthetic intermediate. It is used to synthesize pyrazolo[4,3-c]pyridinediones as orally bioavailable NADPH oxidase isoform 4 inhibitors for the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. It is also used to prepare pyrazolyl-indoles with the abilities to induce T-cell kinase inhibition.
