Ethanaminium, 2-mercapto-N,N,N-trimethyl-, iodide (1:1)

Description:

Ethanaminium, 2-mercapto-N,N,N-trimethyl-, iodide (1:1), commonly referred to as trimethylthioethylammonium iodide, is a quaternary ammonium compound characterized by its cationic nature due to the presence of a positively charged nitrogen atom. This compound features a trimethylammonium group attached to a 2-mercaptoethyl moiety, which introduces a thiol functional group, contributing to its reactivity and potential applications in various chemical processes. The iodide counterion enhances its solubility in polar solvents and can influence its biological activity. Typically, quaternary ammonium compounds exhibit surfactant properties, making them useful in formulations for disinfectants, emulsifiers, and phase transfer catalysts. Additionally, the presence of the thiol group may impart unique properties such as antioxidant activity or the ability to form disulfide bonds. Safety considerations should be taken into account, as quaternary ammonium compounds can be toxic and irritant, necessitating proper handling and disposal protocols in laboratory and industrial settings.

Thiocholine iodide

CAS: 7161-73-1

Thiocholine iodide is a fluorescent probe that can be used to detect the presence of propionyl-CoA in living organisms. The fluorescence of thiocholine iodide is increased in proportion to the amount of propionyl-CoA present. Thiocholine iodide has been shown to react with bacterial cells, as well as human serum and brain tissue. It has also been used in food composition analyses as a marker for microbial infection. Thiocholine iodide is often used in biochemical assays and enzyme activity studies, and its detection sensitivity can be changed by changing the ratio of sodium citrate to thiocholine iodide solution. Thiocholine iodide has been shown to be a useful tool for determining the concentration of propionyl-CoA in living organisms, which may provide insight into brain functions.
