OFF-WHITE TO SLIGHTLY GREY CRYSTALLINE POWDER
Uses
Selenosemicarbazide (Hydrazinecarboselenoamide) exhibits antimicrobial activity, that inhibits B. subtilis, S. aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Sarcina lutea and Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Selenosemicarbazide forms complex with metal ions, and exhibits antitumor efficacy against cancer cells[1]
