Product Description
2,6-Dichloro-3-nitropyridine is a biochemical compound that may be utilized as a biomaterial or organic/chemical reagent for biomedical research.
2,6-Dichloro-3-nitropyridine (CAS 16013-85-7) is a heterocyclic organic compound with the molecular formula C₅H₂Cl₂N₂O₂ and a molecular weight of 192.98 g/mol. It appears as a light yellow to yellow to green powder with a melting point of 63-66°C and a purity of ≥98%. The compound is soluble in organic solvents but insoluble in water. It is used in the synthesis of pyridyldifluoroacetates and as a starting reagent in the preparation of bicyclooxacalixhetarene and tetraoxacalix[2]arene[2]pyridines. It is also used in the synthesis of hypoglycemic active thiazolidine-2,4-diones and HIV-1 reverse transcriptase inhibitors.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
2,6-Dichloro-3-nitropyridine is used in the synthesis of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase inhibitors and hypoglycemic active thiazolidine-2,4-diones. Reverse transcriptase is a key enzyme in the HIV life cycle, converting viral RNA into DNA for integration into the host genome. Inhibitors of this enzyme are important antiretroviral drugs for the treatment of HIV/AIDS. The compound's pyridine core with chloro and nitro substituents provides a versatile scaffold for building enzyme-targeting molecules. As a synthetic intermediate, the compound itself is not a direct enzyme inhibitor but a building block for such agents.
ln Vitro
As a synthetic intermediate, 2,6-Dichloro-3-nitropyridine is not typically evaluated for direct in vitro biological activity against specific molecular targets. The compound serves as a precursor for HIV-1 reverse transcriptase inhibitors and hypoglycemic agents rather than possessing intrinsic pharmacological activity. Its primary applications are in organic synthesis as a building block for drug discovery. Any biological activity observed would be incidental.
ln Vivo
The compound itself is not typically evaluated for in vivo activity as it is a synthetic intermediate. HIV-1 reverse transcriptase inhibitors and thiazolidine-2,4-diones synthesized from 2,6-Dichloro-3-nitropyridine have been studied in various in vivo models. Reverse transcriptase inhibitors have shown efficacy in animal models of HIV infection, and thiazolidine-2,4-diones are known for their hypoglycemic activity in diabetic models. The in vivo pharmacological profile of the final drug molecules depends on the specific functional groups introduced.
Enzyme Assay
Cell-free biochemical assays involving 2,6-Dichloro-3-nitropyridine typically focus on its use as a synthetic reagent. In organic synthesis, the compound can be used as a building block for the preparation of various pyridine derivatives. A standard protocol for nucleophilic aromatic substitution involves treating the compound with nucleophiles (e.g., amines, thiols) in the presence of a base in an appropriate solvent such as DMF or acetonitrile. The chloro groups at the 2- and 6-positions are activated toward nucleophilic attack by the electron-withdrawing nitro group at the 3-position. The nitro group can also be reduced to an amino group for further derivatization. Reactions are monitored by TLC and products are characterized by NMR and mass spectrometry.
Cell Assay
Cell-based assays are not typically performed with 2,6-Dichloro-3-nitropyridine as the compound is a chemical reagent. For HIV-1 reverse transcriptase inhibitors or hypoglycemic agents synthesized from this intermediate, standard cell-based protocols would apply. For antiviral activity, HIV-infected cell lines are treated with the test compound and viral replication is measured by p24 antigen ELISA or other methods. For hypoglycemic activity, adipocyte or hepatocyte models may be used to assess glucose uptake or insulin sensitivity.
Animal Protocol
In vivo studies are not typically conducted with 2,6-Dichloro-3-nitropyridine itself. For HIV-1 reverse transcriptase inhibitors synthesized using this intermediate, in vivo efficacy studies involve animal models of HIV infection (e.g., humanized mice or SIV models). For hypoglycemic thiazolidine-2,4-diones, efficacy is evaluated in rodent models of diabetes (e.g., db/db or STZ-induced diabetic mice). A typical protocol includes oral administration of the test compound, with monitoring of blood glucose levels or viral load.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
As a chemical reagent rather than a drug, comprehensive pharmacokinetic data for 2,6-Dichloro-3-nitropyridine is not available. The compound's molecular weight is 192.98 g/mol. The compound is a solid at room temperature with a melting point of 63-66°C. It is soluble in organic solvents but insoluble in water. For drug molecules synthesized from this intermediate, ADME properties depend on the final structure. The pyridine core generally confers favorable physicochemical properties for drug development.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Toxicological data specific to 2,6-Dichloro-3-nitropyridine is limited. As with all halogenated nitroheterocycles and chemical reagents, standard laboratory safety precautions should be observed when handling this compound. The compound may cause irritation upon skin or eye contact. For drug candidates synthesized using this intermediate, comprehensive toxicological evaluation is required as part of the drug development process.
Additional Infomation
2,6-Dichloro-3-nitropyridine is a research chemical and synthetic intermediate rather than an approved pharmaceutical agent. No clinical trials or regulatory approvals exist for this compound itself. It is commercially available from various chemical suppliers for research purposes only. The compound's primary value lies in its utility as a versatile building block for the synthesis of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase inhibitors and hypoglycemic active thiazolidine-2,4-diones. The pyridine core with chloro and nitro substituents enables diverse functionalization for medicinal chemistry. The compound is also used in the synthesis of pyridyldifluoroacetates and other heterocyclic compounds.

  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
