2,4-吡啶二羧酸是一种体外和细胞内抑制剂,也是组蛋白赖氨酸脱甲基酶的一种已知抑制剂。2,4-吡啶二甲酸已被用于一项研究中,以确定钌(II)配合物在体外对几种肿瘤细胞系具有抗转移作用,并且主要通过对细胞粘附、迁移和血管生成的影响来实现的。2,4-吡啶二甲酸已被用于开发一种检测方法,首次报道针对表观遗传学靶标的RapidFire质谱分析。;2,4-Pyridinedicarboxylic acid is an in vitro and in cell inhibitor, as well as a known inhibitor of the histone lysine demethylases. 2,4-Pyridinedicarboxylic acid has been used in a study to determine that ruthenium(II) complexes exert antimetastatic effects on several tumor cell lines in vitro, achieved mostly by the effect on cell adhesion, migration and angiogenesis. 2,4-Pyridinedicarboxylic acid has been used in a study to develop an assay that represents the first report of a RapidFire mass spectrometery assay for an epigenetics target.
