Description:Ethoxycarbonyl isothiocyanate is an organic compound that belongs to the class of isothiocyanates. It has been shown to inhibit the replication of herpes simplex virus, a common cause of cold sores and shingles. Ethoxycarbonyl isothiocyanate also inhibits the production of inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin-1β (IL-1β), tumor necrosis factor-α, and IL-6 in cells. The mechanism of action for this inhibition may be due to its ability to inhibit protein synthesis by inhibiting the activity of protein kinase A (PKA).
Ethoxycarbonyl isothiocyanate also has antimicrobial properties and can be used as an antimicrobial agent. It reacts with amines in bacteria, creating an intermediate molecule that reacts with carbon disulphide to form a reactive carbonyl group that damages bacterial DNA. This damage leads to cell death
