Description

2-Methylthio-2-imidazole hydroiodide is a pharmacological agent that inhibits the activity of uridine phosphorylase, which is an enzyme involved in the synthesis of uridine. This drug has been used as an antidiabetic and antihypertensive agent in clinical trials. 2-Methylthio-2-imidazole hydroiodide has shown to be effective against dopamine-related disorders, such as Parkinson's disease and schizophrenia. The specific interaction of this drug with anions may be due to its nucleophilic character.
