CAS 38894-11-0: 3-Methyl-2-benzothiazolinone hydrazone hydrochloride monohydrate

3-Methyl-2-benzothiazolinone hydrazone hydrochloride monohydrate is a diazonium salt that inhibits the activity of tyrosinase. It is used in pharmaceutical preparations as an inhibitor molecule to treat skin cancer. This compound has been shown to inhibit the production of melanin, which protects cells from damage by ultraviolet (UV) radiation. 3-Methyl-2-benzothiazolinone hydrazone hydrochloride monohydrate binds to tyrosinase and prevents it from forming radicals, which are necessary for the formation of melanin. The inhibition of this enzyme results in skin that is less susceptible to UV radiation and therefore less likely to develop skin cancer.

It is used as a reagent for the spectrophotometric determination of aliphatic aldehydes and for the determination of hexosamines in glycosaminoglycans. It is Incorporated into a new peroxidase color reaction. It is also a reagent for the spectrophotometric determination of traces of selenium (IV) in environmental samples.
