THIAMBUTOSINE
THIAMBUTOSINE
Brand Names : DPT: Su-1906; Ciba-1906.
This thiourea derivative is a phenolic ether and also a tertiary
aromatic amine. For its synthesis, the phenolic ether intermediate,
4-butoxyaniline is prepared from 4-aminophenoi.
The other intermediate, 4-dimethylaminophenyl isothiocyanate, is
synthesized by catalytic reduction of methyl orange, converting the resulting
substituted diamine into an ammonium N-aryl dithiocarbamate by means of carbon
disulphide and ammonium hydroxide and then heating with lead nitrate to obtain
the required isothiocyanate. Reaction of the two intermediates yields
thiambutosine.
It is a white powder, almost insoluble in v/ e treatment
Uses
it is used in t of lepresy in the form of injection and tableTS
