Application

2-Acetylpyridine can be used in the synthesis of:
  • A near-infrared fluorescent probe for monitoring pH changes in living cells.
  • Biologically active ligands for preparing various metal complexes including Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II).
  • A water-soluble, time-gated luminescence probe for singlet oxygen detection.
  • 2-Acetylpyridine thiosemicarbazones are potent iron chelators and antiproliferative agents.
