bupicomide bupicomide bupicomide is a chemical compound created and manufactured by lanospharma laboratories company, ltd. it is used experimentally as a beta blocker and clinically as a strong vasodilator with the noted side effects of reduced systolic, diastolic and mean arterial pressure. bupicomide names preferred iupac name 5-butylpyridine-2-carboxamide other names sch-10595; fusaramide identifiers cas number 22632-06-0 y 3d model (jsmol) interactive image chembl chembl2106646 chemspider 29167 echa infocard 100.041.024 pubchem cid 31447 unii 0x3h76n0hy comptox dashboard (epa) dtxsid80177168 inchi inchi=1s/c10h14n2o/c1-2-3-4-8-5-6-9(10(11)13)12-7-8/h5-7h,2-4h2,1h3,(h2,11,13)key: vkspipwlhgkjqo-uhfffaoysa-ninchi=1/c10h14n2o/c1-2-3-4-8-5-6-9(10(11)13)12-7-8/h5-7h,2-4h2,1h3,(h2,11,13)key: vkspipwlhgkjqo-uhfffaoyat smiles o=c(c1ncc(cc1)cccc)n properties chemical formula c10h14n2o molar mass 178.235 g·mol−1 except where otherwise noted, data are given for materials in their standard state (at 25 °c , 100 kpa). infobox references synthesis as the result of the screening program examining microbial fermentation products for pharmacological activity (other than antibiotic activity), fusaric acid was isolated from fusarium oxysporum following the discovery that extracts were potent inhibitors of dbh, and thus interfered with the biosynthesis of the pressor neurohormone, norepinephrine. to refine this lead, amidation via the acid chloride was carried out to give antihypertensive analog bupicomide.
