What is bipyridine?

Organic compound, bipyridine is a molecule that can be associated with other molecules to form a number of different chemicals. Variations of bipyridine molecules are often used to create herbicides and drugs used to treat heart failure. The differences between these products are caused by the position of nitrogen atoms in molecules and other atoms and molecules that are associated with bipyridins.

Bipyridine is a molecule made of carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen. It consists of two rings of chemical pyridine, which is in the form of an inner circle of atoms of carbon surrounded by a circle of hydrogen atoms. These atoms are connected to each other via electron bonds. When two pyridine rings are joined, they form a bipyridine molecule.

There are different changes in bipyridine. The differences between these molecules stem from the way in which two pyridins are assembled in relation to the location of the nitrogen atom. In One Variations, Pyridins are connected through carbon atoms adjacent to nitrogen in the circle. This variation of the molecule is usedWhen creating a herbicide called a diquat, which kills any plant to which it is sprayed.

In medicine, other variations of bipyridine are used in the formation of drugs called inamrinone and Milrinon. Both of these drugs are made of pyridine rings, which are asymmetrically connected and which are then associated with other organic chemicals. These drugs are in the class of drugs known as lactates and are used in the treatment of emergency heart conditions.

When administered in an emergency situation, drugs derived from bipyridine increase the heart function. They do this by expanding blood vessels and increasing the strength of contractions in the heart. Together, these two things help to increase blood flow in patients who are suffering from acute heart failure. They can be administered in oral and intravenous form.

Inamrinone and Milrinone are only safe for short -term treatment of heart failure patients. Medicines are effective for about a period of about48 hours, then the risk of their use predominates over the benefits. Hospital monitoring is important for all patients receiving any of these drugs because there may be serious side effects from their use.
