General description

5-chloro-2-hydroxypyridine acts as donor ligand and exists in zwitterionic form, i.e. 5-chloropyridinium-2-olate in copper complexes.

Application

5-chloro-2-hydroxypyridine (5-Chloro-2-pyridinol) was used to study the effect of dicumarol on xanthine dehydrogenase and mechanism of mitomycin C bioreduction by xanthine dehydrogenase.

These studies examined the effect of dicumarol on xanthine dehydrogenase (XDH), an enzyme recently shown to bioreduce mitomycin C. Dicumarol, which has previously been shown to inhibit xanthine oxidase (XO), inhibited both XDH and XO mediated conversion of xanthine to

These studies examined the kinetic and mechanistic parameters of mitomycin C (MMC) bioreduction by xanthine dehydrogenase (XDH), an enzyme recently shown to be capable of MMC activation. The bioreduction of MMC by XDH leads to the formation of 2,7-diaminomitosene (2,7-DM)
