5-Methyl-2-Pyrazinecarboxylic Acid (CAS: 5521-55-1) is an important pharmaceutical intermediate, is mainly used for Acipimox intermediate. Acipimox is a potent long-acting antilipolytic nicotinic acid (NA) analog. Like nicotinic acid, acipimox lowers lipids effectively, but unlike nicotinic acid, acipimox is longer acting and therefore much less prone to produce free fatty acid rebounding. Acipimox is recommended as a lipid-lowering agent to treat hyperlipidemia in patients with noninsulin dependent diabetes mellitus. Acipimox is a hypolipidemic agent related to nicotinic acid with pronounced, longlasting antilipolytic activity. In addition to its lipid lowering activity, it produces a beneficial elevation of the anti-atherogenic high density lipoprotein subfraction, HDL2.
