2-Ethyl-3-methylpyrazine
Based on 1 Customer Validation
2-Ethyl-3-methylpyrazine is a GABAA receptor potentiator, Antibacterial agent and Antifungal agent, with a Kp of 1.14 mM for GABAA. 2-Ethyl-3-methylpyrazine forms via the Maillard reaction in sunflower seeds and also exists in the crust of wheat bread. 2-Ethyl-3-methylpyrazine regulates mood or states of consciousness via central GABAA receptors. 2-Ethyl-3-methylpyrazine inhibits the growth of Ralstonia solanacearum and Magnaporthe oryzae. 2-Ethyl-3-methylpyrazine acts as an anxiolytic. 2-Ethyl-3-methylpyrazine is one of the sources of cocoa aroma, imparting nutty, corn-like, burnt, cereal, roasted and earthy flavors to foods. 2-Ethyl-3-methylpyrazine can be used in studies related to anxiety disorders and plant bacterial, fungal and oomycete infections.
