Product Information

• Name: 4-Methoxybenzenecarbothioamide
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 4-Methoxybenzenecarbothioamide is a urea nitrogen analogue that inhibits the synthesis of urea and other nitrogenous compounds. It is an inhibitor of the enzyme pyruvic transaminase, which converts pyruvate to alanine. The drug is also an inhibitor of the enzyme lactam synthetase, which catalyzes the formation of lactams from amino acids. This activity results in decreased production of cancer cells and renal toxicity. 4-Methoxybenzenecarbothioamide has been shown to have anticancer activity in vitro against a number of human cancer cell lines, including A549 lung carcinoma cells and MCF-7 breast cancer cells.
