General Description

1-benzyl-3-carboxypyridinium chloride is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C14H14ClNO2. It is a quaternary ammonium salt derived from pyridine and contains a benzyl group and carboxylic acid group in its structure. 1-benzyl-3-carboxypyridinium chloride has been studied for its potential use as an inhibitor of the enzyme acetylcholinesterase, which is involved in the breakdown of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Inhibition of this enzyme can lead to increased levels of acetylcholine in the brain, which can have potential therapeutic applications in the treatment of neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's disease. Additionally, 1-benzyl-3-carboxypyridinium chloride has been investigated for its antimicrobial properties and its potential use in the development of new pharmaceuticals.
