5-Methyl-2-thioxoimidazolidin-4-one (MTI) is an antibacterial agent that has been shown to have a strong inhibitory effect against Staphylococcus epidermidis. MTI has been shown to be an effective antidiabetic, pesticide, and antibacterial agent. It also has a tautomeric form that reversibly binds to the active site of bacterial DNA topoisomerase II, which prevents the rewinding of DNA and inhibits transcription. MTI is used in the treatment of mammalian cells for cancer treatment. In addition, it can alkylate DNA bases and disrupts the DNA replication process.
