General description

Phenyl isothiocyanate is an aromatic isothiocyanate. It participates in dehydration reactions of alcohols. It is widely used for synthesis of various biologically important heterocyclic compounds.

Application

Phenyl isothiocyanate may be employed as a derivatization reagent for high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) analysis of various amphetamine derivatives in body fluids.
Derivatizing reagent for primary and secondary amines. Used in sequencing peptides by Edman degradation and in amino acid analyses by HPLC.

Osteoclastogenesis is induced by differentiation of hemopoietic cells of monocyte-macrophage lineage into bone-resorbing osteoclasts. The process is initiated by receptor activator of NF-kappaB ligand (RANKL) and resultant activation of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK), including extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)1/2, as well
