3-Hydroxypicolinic acid

3-Hydroxypicolinic acid is a matrix. 3-Hydroxypicolinic acid coordinates with metal ions such as copper to form complexes with cytotoxic and antimycobacterial activity. 3-Hydroxypicolinic acid is used for the analysis of oligodeoxynucleotides in matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS). 3-Hydroxypicolinic acid is useful for nucleic acid analysis and anti-tuberculosis compound development[1][2][3].
