Abstract

Abstract Synthetic analogues of N-methyl nicotinic acid, trigonelline, were prepared to test the structural features necessary for the induction of cellular arrest in G2 in Pisum sativum. Analogues that (1) were regioisomers of trigonelline,(2) possessed different 1, 3- substituents, and (3) contained additional substituents on the pyridine ring were tested for their ability to induce cell arrest in G2 and to antagonize trigonelline induced arrest in G2. ...
