Beschreibung

Potassium cyanate is an active analogue of sodium cyanate. It is used in biochemical research for the preparation of samples and in the study of reactions that involve the formation of carboxylic acid derivatives from primary alkyl halides. This compound was found to be significantly cytotoxic, with a median lethal dose (LD50) at 3,000 mg/kg. The mechanism of action is not known. Potassium cyanate has been shown to inhibit human serum cholesterol levels and reduce atherosclerotic cardiovascular events in animal models, which may be due to its ability to inhibit cholesterol synthesis by inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase activity.
