4,6-Dimethoxypicolinic acid(cas:90764-84-4) belongs to pyridine-derivatives. Several pyridine derivatives play important roles in biological systems. While its biosynthesis is not fully understood, nicotinic acid (vitamin B3) occurs in some bacteria, fungi, and mammals.Electric Literature of 90764-84-4
