Phenylmethanesulfinamide is a compound that has been implicated in the development of atherosclerosis, renal disease, and liver disease. It belongs to the class of amines and is sterically hindered. Phenylmethanesulfinamide modulates lipid metabolism by binding to cholesterol and reducing hypercholesterolemia. Phenylmethanesulfinamide is also effective in reducing liver damage caused by alcohol consumption. Phenylmethanesulfinamide can be used as a biocide when applied to surfaces such as wood, metal, or plastic and has been shown to have antifouling properties when used on boat hulls. Phenylmethane sulfonamide (PMS) is a moiety that inhibits the growth of bacteria by binding to DNA-dependent RNA polymerase and preventing transcription and replication. PMS also specifically binds to markers expressed at high levels in Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains (e.g., ESX-
