Description

Ammonium tetrathiomolybdate is used as an important reagent in synthetic chemistry and as a building block in bioinorganic chemistry. It is used in the treatment of copper toxicosis in animals and in Wilson's disease. It acts as a chelator in vivo to reduce copper levels. It interferes with angiogenesis and reduces tumor growth. Further, it is used in the synthesis of heterometallic sulfide clusters stabilized with dppm [bis(diphenylphosphino)methane] ligands. It is involved in the ring opening of aziridines leading to sulfides and disulfides. This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
