Common NamePyridine
DescriptionPyridine, also known as py or azabenzene, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as pyridines and derivatives which are compounds containing a pyridine ring. The pyridine ring is a six-member aromatic heterocycle which consists of one nitrogen atom and five carbon atoms. It is structurally related to benzene, with one CH group in the six-membered ring replaced by a nitrogen atom. Pyridine is a clear liquid with a sour, putrid, and fish-like odor and an amine, fishy, and putrid taste. Pyridine is found in the highest concentration in kohlrabis and peppermints. Pyridine has also been detected in mung beans, celery stalks, tortilla chips, asparagus, and papaya. This could make pyridine a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. It is added in small amounts to foods to impart a bitter taste. Originally, pyridine was obtained from crude coal tar and today is synthesized from acetaldehyde, formaldehyde, and ammonia. Pyridine is often used as a denaturant for antifreeze mixtures, is added to laboratory ethanol to prevent consumption, for fungicides, and to dye textiles. It is harmful if inhaled, ingested, or absorbed through the skin. Common symptoms of acute exposure to pyridine include headache, coughing, asthmatic breathing, laryngitis, nausea, and vomiting. In humans, pyridine is converted to N-methylpyridinium cation ( Ref:DOI ). It is a possible carcinogen that reduced sperm motility in mice and delayed the estrous cycle in rats ( Ref:DOI ). It may affect the NAD+ signalling pathway. Pyridine is also a constituent of cannabis smoke. It is formed during the combustion of cannabis ( Ref:DOI ).
