We have examined the effects of pyridine derivatives on phosphatidylcholine secretion in primary cultures of rat type II pneumocytes. Of 12 pyridine derivatives, 4-aminopyridine, 4-dimethylaminopyridine and 4-pyrolidinopyridine had a stimulatory effect on phosphatidylcholine secretion, whereas other derivatives had little effect.
