Product Information

• Name: 2-Amino-5-methylthiazole
• Synonyms: 5-Methyl-1,3-thiazol-2-amine5-Methyl-1,3-thiazol-2-ylamine5-Methyl-2-aminothiazole
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2-Amino-5-methylthiazole is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that inhibits the enzyme cyclooxygenase. It has been shown to inhibit the activity of two different types of cyclooxygenase, COX-1 and COX-2, in vitro. 2-Amino-5-methylthiazole also has shown antimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. This compound is stable in high salt concentrations and at high pH values. 2-Amino-5-methylthiazole does not contain any nitrogen atoms but does have an electron rich aromatic ring and a methyl group on the side chain. The redox potential for this molecule is -0.16 V vs SHE at pH 7.4, making it more likely to be oxidized than reduced, which may explain its low reactivity with hydrogen peroxide and its ability to be stable in
