ethyl 4-[(4-methylpyridin-2-yl)amino]piperidine-1-carboxylate

Ethyl 4-[(4-methylpyridin-2-yl)amino]piperidine‑1‑carboxylate is a synthetic small molecule belonging to the class of _piperidinecarboxylic acids_, characterized by a piperidine ring substituted with an ethoxycarbonyl group and a _(4-methylpyridin‑2-yl)amino moiety_[1][3][5]. It has been studied as an experimental compound, notably for its inhibitory activity against nitric oxide synthase isoforms, particularly _inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS/NOS2)_, with reported IC50 values in the nanomolar range for iNOS and much weaker inhibition of _endothelial NOS (eNOS/NOS3)_[4][5]. There are no approved therapeutic indications or marketed products containing this compound. Its primary research interest lies in enzyme inhibition relevant to inflammation and related pathologies.
