Description and Uses
2,5-Dimethylpyrazine is used as a reagent in the synthesis of bone-targeted proteasome inhibitors for multiple myeloma (MM). 2,5-Dimethylpyrazine is also used in the preparation of 3-Methyl-2,5-bis-(2-hydroxyethyl)pyrazine (M295340); a degredation product of Clavulanic Acid (C563750) which is a β-lactamase inhibitor, typically added to amoxicillin to increase its effectiveness.
