CAS 102-08-9: Diphenylthiourea

The thiocarbanilide is a polymeric matrix that is used to remove copper from wastewater and has been shown to have in vitro antifungal activity. The adsorption mechanism of this compound is Langmuir adsorption. It is a complex polymer with diphenyl ether and metal hydroxides. It has been shown to inhibit the growth of fungi by binding their cell walls, which prevents the uptake of copper ions. Thiocarbanilide was tested for its anti-fungal properties against several fungi and bacteria, including Candida albicans, Aspergillus niger, Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The results show that thiocarbanilide has low toxicity for mammalian cells. Thiocarbanilide was also tested for its ability to treat wastewater contaminated with copper ions. The Langmuir adsorption analysis showed
