4-Methyl-2-aminopyridine (4M2AP) increased responses of isolated rat diaphragm and chick biventer cervicis nerve-muscle preparations to nerve stimulation but depressed responses to direct stimulation. Responses to acetylcholine were also increased while responses to carbachol were depressed. When tested after inhibition of

The hydroacylation of methanol with alkenes was developed using a catalytic system consisting of Rh(I), 2-amino-4-picoline and benzoic acid; the reaction is speculated to occur by the initial N-methylation of 2-amino-4-picoline with methanol, and the subsequent dehydrogenation of the resulting

The asymmetric unit of the title mol-ecular salt, C(6)H(9)N(2) (+)·C(7)H(5)O(3) (-), contains two cations and two anions. Both the salicylate anions contain an intra-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bond, which generates an S(6) ring. Both the 2-amino-4-methyl-pyridine mol-ecules are protonated at their

We have investigated various nitric oxide (NO) synthase inhibitors for their affinity and selectivity toward the three human isoenzymes in radioligand binding experiments. Therefore, we developed the new radioligand [(3)H]2-amino-4-picoline to measure binding of these compounds to the three human
