Description

Picolinic acid

Unlock broad-spectrum antiviral research and metal chelation applications with picolinic acid (CAS No.: 98-98-6, CAT No.: SRCP-021). This pyridine-2-carboxylic acid metabolite of tryptophan exhibits potent inhibition of enveloped viruses including SARS-CoV-2 and IAV through membrane disruption and endocytosis interference, while serving as a versatile ligand in coordination chemistry and pharmaceutical synthesis.

With a molecular formula of C₆H₅NO₂ and a molecular weight of 123.11 g/mol, picolinic acid appears as a white crystalline powder with a melting point of 138142°C. Highly water-soluble (887 g/L) and exhibiting bidentate chelation via pyridine N and carboxylate O, it forms stable complexes with zinc and other transition metals essential for biological transport and antiviral mechanisms.
