Abstract
A series of 4-(2-carboxymethylthiomethyl)pyridines and related compounds, and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts, are disclosed as having immunoregulatory activity. Preferred compounds include 4-(2-carboxymethylthiomethyl)pyridine [alternatively named 2-(4-picolylthio)acetic acid] and (C.sub.1 -C.sub.4)alkyl esters thereof, and 4-(1-formylmethylthiomethyl)-pyridine [alternatively named 2-(4-picolylthio)acetaldehyde] and bis(C.sub.1 -C.sub.4)alkyl or cyclic acetals thereof. These acids, esters, aldehydes and acetals also have utility as intermediates in the synthesis of the corresponding 4-(2-hydroxyethylthiomethyl)pyridines.
