Benzyl thiocyanate Structural

What is Benzyl thiocyanate?

Description

Benzyl thiocyanate undergoes regioselective bond dissociation during its electrochemical reduction in acetonitrile at an inert electrode. It is added to stimulate the chlortetracycline biosynthesis during industrial fermentations. It undergoes biotransformation into dibenzyl disulphide by Streptomyces aureofaciens.

Chemical properties

ALMOST WHITE TO YELLOW CRYSTALS OR CRYST. POWDER

The Uses of Benzyl thiocyanate

Benzyl Thiocyanate is found to increase the protein production of Streptomyces aureofaciens. Inhibits methylazoxymethanol acetate-induced intestinal carcinogenesis and reduces unscheduled DNA synthesi s for some genotoxic carcinogens in rats.

The Uses of Benzyl thiocyanate

Benzyl thiocyanate was used to study the effects of various dietary compounds on the α-hydroxylation of N-nitrosopyrrolidine in male F344 rats in vitro.
