General description

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.

Application

Benzyl thiocyanate was used to study the effects of various dietary compounds on the α-hydroxylation of N-nitrosopyrrolidine in male F344 rats in vitro.

Benzyl thiocyanate, a specific stimulator of chlortetracycline biosynthesis, was transformed into dibenzyl disulphide by Streptomyces aureofaciens. The disulphide stimulated chlortetracycline production to a lesser extent than did benzyl thiocyanate.

The electrochemical reduction of benzyl thiocyanate and p-nitrobenzyl thiocyanate was investigated in acetonitrile at an inert electrode. These two compounds reveal a change in the reductive cleavage mechanism, and more interestingly, they show a clear-cut example of a regioselective bond

The effects of two aromatic thiocyanates, benzyl thiocyanate (BTC) and benzyl isothiocyanate (BITC), on methylazoxymethanol (MAM) acetate-induced intestinal carcinogenesis were examined using female ACI/N rats. Starting at 5 weeks of age, animals were fed diets containing 100 or 400 p.p.m.

Male F344 rats were pretreated with various dietary compounds, and the effects of pretreatment on the in vitro alpha-hydroxylation of N-nitrosopyrrolidine or N'-nitrosonornicotine were determined in assays with liver microsomes or cultured esophagus, respectively. Dietary compounds included phenols, cinnamic acids

The effects of benzyl isothiocyanate (BITC) and benzyl thiocyanate (BTC) on two types of DNA synthesis were examined in hepatocyte primary cultures (HPC). Male F344 rats were fed BITC- or BTC-containing diets at a concentration of 400 p.p.m. Using hepatocytes
