The “N” in benzene ring has its high electronegativity influence on resonance environment and produces markedly different chemistry from its carbon ana - log. The presence of nitrogen and its lone pair in an aromatic environment makes pyri dine a unique substance in chemistry. The sp 2 lone pair orbital of “N,” directed outward the ring skeleton, is well directed to have overlap with vacant metal orbital in producing an σ bonding interaction. This causes pyridine to be a ligand and has been utilized with all transition metals in producing the array of metal complexes. A rich literature of metal complexes is now available with pyridine and its derivatives. Innumerable complexes have been synthesized with academic as well as industrial importance. To shed a light on ligating capability of pyridine, transition metal complexes with pyridine, and its deriva tive is presented in this chapter.","PeriodicalId":20827,"journal":{"name":"Pyridine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84178866","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Pyridine is a unique type with nitrogen on the ring to provide a tertiary amine by undergoing reactions such as alkylation and oxidation. Amine is responsible for the slight dipole on the ring because electrons are drawn more toward the nitrogen being electronegative (lone pair electrons on the nitrogen) than other atoms in the ring. The H nuclear magnetic radiation (H-NMR) shows three signals at the ortho, meta, and para positions on the molecule in respect of three different chemical shifts. These chemical shifts are the result of the different electron densities for each of these atoms. As a result, this is not stable as other aromatic compounds (Figure 1).","PeriodicalId":20827,"journal":{"name":"Pyridine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83818527","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although pyridines are used industrially, pyridine moieties are present in many natural products, such as vitamins, coenzymes, and alkaloids, and also in many drugs and pesticides. Pyridine moieties are often used in drugs because of their characteristics such as basicity, water solubility, stability, and hydrogen bond-forming ability, and their small molecular size. Because pyridine rings are able to act as the bioisosteres of amines, amides, heterocyclic rings containing nitrogen atoms, and benzene rings, their replacement by pyridine moieties is important in drug discovery. Recently, we synthesized a series of BACE1 inhibitors by in silico conformational structure-based drug design and found an important role of pyridine moiety as a scaffold. In this chapter, we describe the important role of pyridines in medicinal chemistry and the development of β-secretase inhibitors possessing a pyridine scaffold for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease.","PeriodicalId":20827,"journal":{"name":"Pyridine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86613962","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

PDCA analogs promoted flowering and extended dis - play time (vase life) of cut flowers of spray-type carnation. 2,3-PDCA and 2,4-PDCA were most active in the promotion. Apart from these actions, some of PDCAs and PCAs stimu - lated root and shoot growth of lettuce, carrot, and rice seedlings. Studies on structure– activity relationship of the chemicals showed that one of the most effective chemicals was pyridine-3-carboxylic acid. Pyridine-3-carboxylic acid is known as vitamin B3 (niacin) and safe for human and animals. These findings suggested the possibility to develop PDCAs and PCAs as novel flower-care agents as well as growth-promoting agents which will be used for vegetable cultivation. inhibited it in lettuce, carrot, and rice seedlings. We explored the promoting activities of 2,3-PDCA to other PDCA analogs and pyridine-mono-carboxylic acid (PCA) analogs. Also, we carried out a preliminary investigation on the possible biochemical and molecular mechanism of PDCA, mainly with 2,4-PDCA. This chapter describes the details of the effects of 2,4-PDCA and related chemicals on flower opening and display time in carna tion flowers, as well as the promotion of seedling growth in some agricultural crops.

We measured GA 3 content in the non-treated flowers at days 0–4 and found that the GA 3 level tended to be decreased in the course of flower opening. We also measured GA 3 content in 2,4-PDCA-treated flowers at day 1, when the treated flowers showed a significant increase in the number of open flowers. We observed a tendency that GA 3 content in the 2,4-PDCA-treated flowers was lower than that in the control. The GA 3 content in the control flowers was 48.5 ± 10.0 pmol·g −1 FW, whereas it was 26.6 ± 14.3 pmol·g −1 FW in the 2,4-PDCA-treated flowers. There was no significant difference between the control and the treated samples by t -test at P < 0.05. These results showed 2,4-PDCA increases the gene expression of the growth suppressor, GAI, and decreases the GA level, suggesting that GA signaling and action are altered by 2,4-PDCA treatment. such changes are contradictory to the enhancement of flower opening, which that 2,4-PDCA","PeriodicalId":20827,"journal":{"name":"Pyridine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86538807","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
