2-Chloro-3-ethylpyridine is a synthetic compound that is used as an inhibitor in vitro. It has been shown to be a corrosion inhibitor and mineralization agent. 2-Chloro-3-ethylpyridine has also been shown to have cellular effects, such as inhibiting telomerase activity, which may lead to the reduction of the rate at which telomeres shorten. In addition, this compound has been found to act as a ligand for nuclear factor kappa B (NFκB) in animal models and in vitro assays. This ligand can inhibit the activation of NFκB by its natural ligands, leading to antiinflammatory effects. 2-Chloro-3-ethylpyridine also acts as an inhibitor of some chemical compounds and is known to counteract high temperatures.
