Product Information

• Name: Methyl 2-Isothiocyanatobenzoate
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Methyl 2-isothiocyanatobenzoate is a heterocyclic compound that is used as a precursor in the synthesis of many other compounds. It reacts with electrophiles such as hydrogen, chlorine, and bromine to form alkylating agents. Methyl 2-isothiocyanatobenzoate has shown anticancer activity and can be used for the treatment of cancer. This compound is membrane permeable and can cross the blood brain barrier. In addition, methyl 2-isothiocyanatobenzoate is a good substrate for nitroreductases and can be activated by radiation or chloride ions to form an alkylating agent that inhibits DNA synthesis. The magnetic resonance spectroscopy of this compound shows it has a relatively high level of chloride ions.
