Ammonium tetrathiomolybdate is a classic building block for transition metal sulfide cluster compounds was recently used in a low-temperature, solid state synthesis of a new series of heterometallic sulfide clusters stabilized with dppm [bis(diphenylphosphino)methane] ligands. Ammonium tetrathiomolybdate leads to the ring opening of aziridines leading to sulfides and disulfides. Ammonium tetrathiomolybdate also acts as a chelator in vivo to reduce copper levels.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from ChanChan, CM. et al. (PubMed 25909377) evaluated the pharmacokinetics of Ammonium tetrathiomolybdate (TTM) after IV and oral administration to dogs and effects of TTM administration on trace mineral concentrations. Absorption of TTM after oral administration was variable. Increased serum copper concentrations suggested that TTM mobilized tissue copper. -SCBT Publication Review
