Description and Uses

Benzyl thiocyanate undergoes regioselective bond dissociation during its electrochemical reduction in acetonitrile at an inert electrode. It is added to stimulate the chlortetracycline biosynthesis during industrial fermentations. It undergoes biotransformation into dibenzyl disulphide by Streptomyces aureofaciens.

Benzyl Thiocyanate is found to increase the protein production of Streptomyces aureofaciens. Inhibits methylazoxymethanol acetate-induced intestinal carcinogenesis and reduces unscheduled DNA synthesi s for some genotoxic carcinogens in rats.
