Description

General description

2-Acetylpyridine is a volatile flavor compound found in rye bread crust and roasted sesame. It has also been identified as a key contributor to the “scented rice”-like aroma in Yahonkaoluo leaves and Xiangjing-8618 rice.

Application

• Interaction with CT-DNA and in vitro cytotoxicity of two new copper(II)-based potential drugs derived from octanoic hydrazide ligands.: This study investigates the interaction of copper(II) complexes, derived from octanoic hydrazide ligands including 2-Acetylpyridine, with CT-DNA and their cytotoxic effects. The results indicate significant potential for these complexes as anticancer agents (Chowdhury et al., 2024).


• Three water-soluble copper(II) N-heterocyclic carbene complexes: toward copper-catalyzed ketone reduction under sustainable conditions.: This research explores the synthesis and application of water-soluble copper(II) complexes, including those containing 2-Acetylpyridine, for catalyzing ketone reductions under sustainable conditions. The study emphasizes the potential for green chemistry applications (Sharma et al., 2024).


• Eco-friendly Cu/NiO nanoparticle synthesis: Catalytic potential in isatin-based chalcone synthesis for anticancer activity.: The study focuses on the synthesis of Cu/NiO nanoparticles, incorporating 2-Acetylpyridine, for their catalytic efficacy in the synthesis of chalcones with potential anticancer properties (Cahyana et al., 2023).


• The Application of Synthetic Flavors in Zebrafish (Danio rerio) Rearing with Emphasis on Attractive Ones: Effects on Fish Development, Welfare, and Appetite.: This research investigates the impact of synthetic flavors, including 2-Acetylpyridine, on zebrafish development, welfare, and appetite, highlighting potential applications in aquaculture (Conti et al., 2023).
