6-Methylthiohexyl isothiocyanate
1-isothiocyanato-6-(methylsulfanyl)hexane is a isothiocyanate that is hexane in which two of the terminal methyl hydrogens at positions 1 and 6 have been replaced by isothiocyanato and methylsulfanyl groups. It has a role as an EC 4.1.1.17 (ornithine decarboxylase) inhibitor, an Arabidopsis thaliana metabolite, an antineoplastic agent and a neuroprotective agent. It is an isothiocyanate and a methyl sulfide. It derives from a hydride of a hexane. — ChEBI
