Synthesis and hypoglycemic activity of 4-substituted 3-mercaptopicolinic acids

Abstract: 3-Mercapto-4-methylpicolinic acid one of very few compounds derived from 3-mercaptopicolinic acid (3-MPA) to have hypoglycemic activity. In an effort to find compounds with greater potency than 3-MPA, several 4-substituted 3-mercaptopicolinic acids (4-OMe, OC6H5, SMe, SH, Cl, NH2, Et; 1-7) were prepared and tested in 48-h fasted rats. None was hypoglycemic in this test system after oral dosing of 150 mg/kg.

“…The introduction of the C3 methyl group converted 5, a compound with hyperglycemic activity, to 1, a compound with potent hypoglycemic activity. The glycemic activity seen in the methanol and propanol series (2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7) was not consistent with the above data, in that 3 and 6 with C3 alcohol side chains were most potent, whereas 1 with a C2 propanol side chain was more potent than 25 with a C3 propanol side chain. Similarly, introducing a C2 methyl group into 3 led to a compound (24) with no hypoglycemic activity.…”

“…In a series of pyridylmethanols (2-4), only 3 was hypoglycemic. In the propanol series (5)(6)(7), the 2 and 4 isomers 5 and 7 were weakly hyperglycemic, while the 3 isomer 6 was weakly hypoglycemic. All compounds were studied after oral doses of 150 mg/kg in fasted rats.…”

“…Blank et al [19] reported that 3-mercapto-4-methylpicolinic acid (h, Figure 1) was one of very few compounds derived from 3-mercaptopicolinic acid (3-MPA) to have hypoglycemic activity. In order to find compounds with greater potency than 3-MPA, several 4-substituted 3-mercaptopicolinic acids (4-OMe, OC 6 H 5 , SMe, SH, C1, NH 2 , Et) were prepared and used for animal experiments.…”

“…Second, sequences that convert pyridines into N -oxides are followed by 4-selective nitration. Halopyridines are then formed directly by treatment with PHal 3 or P­(O)­Hal 3 reagents, or by displacing the nitro group with a nucleophilic halide and then reducing the N -oxide. , Requiring preinstalled functional groups, strong bases, oxidants, and highly acidic media limits the applicability of these approaches . As a result, there are considerably fewer commercial 4-halopyridines than other isomers, and those available can be prohibitively expensive.…”
