3-Amino-4-chloropyridine

3-Amino-4-chloropyridine is an organic compound with the molecular formula CHClN. It is a colorless solid that is soluble in organic solvents, such as diethyl ether and chloroform. 3-Amino-4-chloropyridine has been shown to be effective in cancer therapy by inhibiting ion channels, which are proteins that allow ions to pass through the cell membrane. This inhibition results in cell death due to lack of nutrients and oxygen. 3-Amino-4-chloropyridine inhibits the p2 receptor and induces apoptosis in cancer cells, which may be due to its ability to inhibit calcium influx and activate protein kinase C. 3-Amino-4-chloropyridine also has antiinflammatory effects by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis.
