8-Methylsulfinyloctyl isothiocyanate, an isothiocyanate, has antimicrobial activity and remarkable inhibitory activity against plant growth[1]. 8-Methylsulfinyloctyl isothiocyanate impair COX-2 mediated inflammatory responses in LPS stimulated raw macrophages[2].

ChEBI: 8-(methylsulfinyl)octyl isothiocyanate is a member of the class of isothiocyanates that is octyl isothiocyanate in which one of the methyl hydrogens at position 8 has been replaced by a methylsulfinyl group. It has a role as a plant metabolite and an allelochemical. It is an isothiocyanate and a sulfoxide. It derives from a hydride of an octane.
