3-(1H-Pyrazol-4-yl)pyridine is a chemical compound that has been shown to have anti-cancer activity. It has been found to inhibit the growth of ovarian cancer cells and is being studied as a potential treatment for other cancers. 3-(1H-Pyrazol-4-yl)pyridine binds to acetylcholine receptors in cancer cells, leading to cell apoptosis. It also inhibits the synthesis of DNA and RNA, which are necessary for cell division. 3-(1H-Pyrazol-4-yl)pyridine is an excellent catalyst and can be used in multiphase reactions such as cyanosilylation, where it reacts with sulfur dioxide (SO2) to produce polysulfide (polysulfur).
