| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Definition]
ChEBI:Amoscanate is an isothiocyanate that is phenyl isothiocyanate in which the hydrogen at the para- position has been replaced by a 4-nitroanilinyl group. It has a role as a schistosomicide drug. It is a C-nitro compound, an isothiocyanate and a secondary amino compound. It is functionally related to a diphenylamine. | [Biological Activity]
Amoscanate (cgp4540) is phenyl isothiocyanate in which the hydrogen at the para-position has been replaced by a 4-nitroanilinyl group. Amoscanate is an anti-schistosomal agent. Amoscanate, as an isothiocyanate compound and uncoupler of oxidative phosphorylation, potently injures rodent ependyma[1].
Amoscanate (500 mg/kg; p.o.; 10 days) destructs ependyma and periventricular brain[1].Amoscanate (250 and 500 mg/kg; p.o.; 28 days) elicits necrosis, Ca++-positive microgranules, pyknosis and edema localized in ependyma/subependyma in the medial striatum[1].Amoscanate (25~500 mg/kg; p.o.; 20 days) elicits progressive necrosis of ependyma[1].Amoscanate elicits massive ultrastructural damage in ependymal cells[1]. | [References]
