Description

1,4-Phenylene diisothiocyanate is a potent anthelmintic drug that inhibits the growth of parasites and has been used to treat infections caused by helminths. It binds to a chemoreceptor site on the parasite's surface and prevents the release of an inflammatory mediator, epidermal growth factor. This drug also interacts with other receptors, such as P2Y2, which are involved in inflammation. 1,4-Phenylene diisothiocyanate has been shown to be effective against cancer cells in experimental models and may be useful in chemotherapeutic treatments due to its ability to inhibit cell proliferation.
