Regulatory evidence across markets

None of the 13 markets tracked here holds an imported rule under the name METHYLTHIOHEXYL ISOTHIOCYANATE.

That is a statement about this inventory, not about the law: no imported rule is not evidence that a substance is permitted. A rule may exist under a different name, under a CAS or EC number this glossary entry does not carry, or in a dataset not yet imported.

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is a isothiocyanate that is hexane in which two of the terminal methyl hydrogens at positions 1 and 6 have been replaced by isothiocyanato and methylsulfanyl groups.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
