3-меркапто-1 ,2-пропандиол

Описание

1-Thioglycerol is a reagent used in fluorescence, spectroscopy, and microbiology techniques. Varying the concentration of 1-thioglycerol in the preparation of CdSe/CdS core-shell ultrasmall quantum dots (CS-USQDs) allows a precise way to control the size of the shell, with shell size increasing with increased concentration. It is used as a capping agent in the synthesis of nanocrystals analyzed via Raman and UV/Vis spectroscopy. Biologically, 1-thioglycerol stimulates porphyrin synthesis and increases glutamyl-tRNA reductase activity in E. coli grown in an aerobic environment. It was previously a component in hair permanents used to produce waves or curls.

Химические свойства

clear colorless to yellowish viscous solution

Использование

3-Mercapto-1,2-propanediol has been used in a study to assess the manipulation of aqueous growth of CdTe nanocrystals. It has also been used in a study that investigated the effect of surface attachment on ligand binding

Определение

ChEBI: A thiol that is glycerol in which one of the primary hydroxy groups is replaced by a thiol group.

Методы производства

Monothioglycerol is prepared by heating an ethanolic solution of 3- chloro-1,2-propanediol with potassium bisulfide.

Общее описание

1-Thioglycerol stimulates the synthesis of porphyrin in aerobically growing Escherichia coli. It is an inhibitor of glycerol kinase activity in vitro and in situ.

Фармацевтические приложения

Monothioglycerol is used as an antioxidant in pharmaceutical formulations, mainly in parenteral preparations.Monothioglycerol is reported to have some antimicrobial activity.It is also widely used in cosmetic formulations such as depilating agents.
Therapeutically, monothioglycerol has been used in a 0.02% w/w aqueous solution to stimulate wound healing, and as a 0.1% w/w jelly in atrophic rhinitis.

Профиль безопасности

Poison by intraperitoneal and intravenous routes. Experimental reproductive effects. Mutation data reported. Flammable when exposed to heat or flame; can react with oxidizing materials. When heated to decomposition it emits hghly toxic fumes of SOx.

Безопасность

Monothioglycerol is generally regarded as a relatively nontoxic and nonirritant material at the concentrations used as a pharmaceutical excipient. It is used in topical and injectable preparations. Undiluted monothioglycerol is considered a poison by the IP and IV routes; it has also been reported to be mutagenic.
LD₅₀ (cat, IV): 0.22 g/kg
LD₅₀ (mouse, IP): 0.34 g/kg
LD₅₀ (rabbit, IV): 0.25 g/kg
LD₅₀ (rat, IP): 0.39 g/kg

хранилище

Monothioglycerol is unstable in alkaline solutions. Monothioglycerol should be stored in a well-closed container in a cool, dry place.

Несовместимости

Monothioglycerol can react with oxidizing materials.
