isothiuronium

Isothiuronium (AHR 1911) is a protein synthesis inhibitor with antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory activity that induces apoptosis and reduces melanoma cell invasion, and can be used in dermatitis research.

S-Carboxyethylisothiuronium chloride is a carboxylic acid quaternary ammonium salt containing a thiourea group. In the electroplating industry, S-Carboxyethylisothiuronium chloride serves as a core additive in electroless nickel plating and nickel electroplating systems. S-Carboxyethylisothiuronium chloride can be used in organic synthesis and biochemistry as a thiol-introducing reagent, carboxyethylation modifier, and mild reducing agent for the synthesis of pharmaceutical intermediates and the structural modification of proteins and peptides.
