Pralidoxime (2-pyridine aldoxime methyl chloride) or 2-PAM, usually as the chloride or iodide salts, belongs to a family of compounds called oximes that bind to organophosphate-inactivated acetylcholinesterase. [1] It is used to treat organophosphate poisoning [2] in conjunction with atropine and either diazepam or midazolam. It is a white solid.
The systematic name of this enzyme class is 3-hydroxy-2-methylpyridine-4,5-dicarboxylate 4-carboxy-lyase (3-hydroxy-2-methylpyridine-5-carboxylate-forming). This enzyme is also called 3-hydroxy-2-methylpyridine-4,5-dicarboxylate 4-carboxy-lyase. This enzyme participates in vitamin B 6 metabolism.

2-Methylpyridine, or 2-picoline, is the compound described with formula C 6 H 7 N. 2-Picoline is a colorless liquid that has an unpleasant odor similar to pyridine. It is mainly used to make vinylpyridine and the agrichemical nitrapyrin .
Chlorpyrifos is produced from 3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyridinol, which is generated from 3-picoline by way of cyanopyridine. This conversion involves the ammoxidation of 3-methylpyridine: CH 3 C 5 H 4 N + 1.5 O 2 + NH 3 → NCC 5 H 4 N + 3 H 2 O. 3-Cyanopyridine is also a precursor to 3-pyridinecarboxamide, [3] [4] [5] which is a precursor to ...
Pyridine-2-carbaldehyde, also called 2-formylpyridine, is an organic compound with the formula NC 5 H 4 CHO. It is one of three isomeric pyridinaldehydes. The other isomers are pyridine-3-carboxaldehyde and pyridine-4-carboxaldehyde. Pyridine-2-carbaldehyde is a colorless oily liquid with a distinctive odor.
Methylpyridinium is prepared by treating pyridine with dimethylsulfate: [2]. C 5 H 5 N + (CH 3 O) 2 SO 2 → [C 5 H 5 NCH 3] + CH 3 OSO − 3. It is found in some coffee products. [3] It is not present in unroasted coffee beans, but is formed during roasting from its precursor chemical, trigonelline. [3]
4-Methylpyridine is the organic compound with the formula CH 3 C 5 H 4 N. It is one of the three isomers of methylpyridine. This pungent liquid is a building block for the synthesis of other heterocyclic compounds. Its conjugate acid, the 4-methylpyridinium ion, has a pK a of 5.98, about 0.7 units above that of pyridine itself. [1]
