Application

3,4-Diaminopyridine can be used as a heterocyclic building block to prepare:      
  • Imidazo[4,5-c]pyridine, an important scaffold used for the preparation of CP-885316.     
  • 9-Azajulolidine derivatives, which are used as efficient organocatalysts for acylation and aza-Morita-Baylis-Hillman reaction.      
  • 2-Phenylpyrido[3,4-b]pyrazine by condensation reaction with α-methylsulfinylacetophenone in benzene/acetic acid as a solvent.

The effects of natural polymeric alkylpyridinium salt (nPoly-3-APS), a potent acetylcholinesterase inhibitor isolated from the marine sponge Reniera sarai, were studied on isolated mouse phrenic nerve-hemidiaphragm muscle preparations using electrophysiological approaches. nPoly-3-APS inhibited nerve-evoked isometric muscle twitch and tetanic contraction

This study investigated the effect of 3,4-diaminopyridine (3,4-DAP), a potent potentiator of transmitter release, on neuromuscular transmission in vivo in a mouse model of myasthenia gravis (MG) caused by antibodies against muscle-specific kinase (MuSK; MuSK-MG) and ex vivo in diaphragm

Animal experiments have demonstrated that aminopyridines increase Purkinje cell excitability, and in clinical studies, 4-aminopyridine (4-AP) and 3,4-diaminopyridine (3,4-DAP) improved downbeat nystagmus. In this double-blind, prospective, crossover study, the effects of equivalent doses of 4-AP and 3,4-DAP on the slow-phase

The Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome (LEMS) is an autoimmune disease in which antibodies against voltage-gated calcium channels inhibit cholinergic neurotransmission. LEMS is clinically characterized by muscle weakness and autonomic dysfunction. 3,4-diaminopyridine (3,4-DAP) blocks potassium channels in nerve terminals, resulting in an
