Anomalous Ullman additions with 2-chloronicotinic acid and pharmacological properties of isonixine, a new anti-inflammatory drug

Arzneimittelforschung. 1977 Jul;27(7):1457-9.

Abstract

An anomalous Ullman reaction with 2-chloronicotinic acid is described. The resulting product 2',6'-di-methyl-anilide of 2-pyridone-3-carboxylic acid (isonixine) presents very interesting pharmacological properties as a potential analgesic-anti-inflammatory agent. Chemical and pharmacological data are given.
