CAS 420-04-2: Cyanamide

Cyanamide is a nitrogen-containing organic compound that is used as a plant nutrient. It has been shown to increase the activity of enzymes in methyl ethyl x-ray crystal structures and locomotor activity in mice. Cyanamide is also used as an herbicide and chemical pesticide, with calcium as its main target. The cyanamide molecule binds to the calcium ion and undergoes a reaction mechanism that results in the release of ammonia gas, which is toxic to plants. In addition, cyanamide can cause kidney damage in humans due to its ability to inhibit protein synthesis.

Cyanamide

Impurity Albendazole Impurity 6 Calcium Applications Cyanamide is used in the synthesis of H2 receptor histamine antagonists. Also use in the synthesis of oxadiazoles and 1,2,4-thiaziazoles as dual 5-lipoxygenase and cyclooxygenase inhibitors.

It is widely used in the production of pharmaceuticals and other organic compounds. Cyanamide was used as nitrogen source in thermal transformation of metal oxide nanoparticles into nanocrystalline metal nitrides. It was used in the synthesis of mesoporous graphitic C3N4. Cyanamide in aqueous solution or in the form of its calcium salt is used as a fertilizer in agriculture. It is a potent inhibitor of liver aldehyde dehydrogenases.
