CAS 2365-48-2

Methyl thioglycolate

Description:

Methyl thioglycolate, with the CAS number 2365-48-2, is an organic compound classified as a thiol ester. It is characterized by its molecular formula C4H8O2S, which includes a thiol group (-SH) and an ester functional group. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. Methyl thioglycolate is known for its solubility in organic solvents and limited solubility in water, which is common for many thiol esters. It is primarily used in the synthesis of various chemical compounds, including pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, due to its reactivity and ability to participate in nucleophilic substitution reactions. Additionally, it has applications in the cosmetic industry, particularly in formulations for hair treatments, as it can help in breaking down disulfide bonds in keratin. However, it is important to handle methyl thioglycolate with care, as it can be irritating to the skin and eyes, and appropriate safety measures should be taken during its use.

Methyl thioglycolate is a chemical compound that is used in the pharmaceutical industry as an intermediate. It has been used to synthesize anti-inflammatory drugs, such as aspirin and ibuprofen, and also for the treatment of autoimmune diseases. Methyl thioglycolate binds to amino acids on the surface of bacteria, which prevents them from functioning properly. This binding causes the cells to stop growing and die. Methyl thioglycolate also inhibits protein synthesis by inhibiting ribosomes from attaching to messenger RNA (mRNA). Methyl thioglycolate has been shown to be a model system for studying oxidative DNA damage because it reacts with divalent metals such as copper or iron to form stable covalent bonds. These reactions lead to the formation of reactive oxygen species that can cause DNA strand breaks.
