Butyl thiocyanate (CAS 628-83-1)
QUICK LINKS
Butyl thiocyanate, alternatively known as 4-methylthiobutyl isothiocyanate, serves as an inhibitor of enzymes like acetylcholinesterase and monoamine oxidase. It also aids in the exploration of the biochemical and physiological impacts of other compounds such as toxins. It′s used in studying the effects of environmental pollutants on flora and fauna. Additionally, it finds use in the study of cell signaling pathways and the impact of various compounds on the nervous system. Butyl thiocyanate functions as a reversible inhibitor of enzymes like acetylcholinesterase and monoamine oxidase. It attaches itself to the active site of the enzyme, stalling its catalytic reaction. It also binds to other proteins, such as G-proteins and ion channels, potentially modulating their activity.
