Tetramethylthiuram monosulfide
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Tetramethylthiuram monosulfide (TMTM) is an orally active microsomal monooxygenases inhibitor. Tetramethylthiuram monosulfide is used as an accelerator and activator in the processing of natural rubber and butyl rubber. Tetramethylthiuram monosulfide reduces palmitic acid incorporation into microsomal phospholipids, disrupts microsomal membrane integrity, and impairs electron transport during oxygenation. Tetramethylthiuram monosulfide can be used for the research of fungal infection, bacterial infection and allergic contact dermatitis.

Tetramethylthiuram monosulfide (10-2000 μg/plate; 48 h) induces point mutations in Salmonella typhimurium LT2 strains TA 100 and TA 1535 (especially with metabolic activation) and has a weak mutagenic effect in strain TA 1537, but does not induce mutations in strains TA 98 and TA 1538; higher doses exhibit bacteriotoxicity[1].
Tetramethylthiuram monosulfide (0.2 ppm; 96 h) is cytotoxic to normal Hartley guinea pig lymph node cells at concentrations of 0.2 ppm and above when incubated with PHA stimulation[2].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
Tetramethylthiuram monosulfide (500-2500 mg/kg; p.o.; single dose) has an acute oral LD50 of 818 mg/kg in adult female NMRI mice, with dose-dependent mortality and characteristic intoxication symptoms[1].
Tetramethylthiuram monosulfide (5%; intradermal injection; epicutaneous via occlusive patch for sensitization; 2.0%; epicutaneous via Finn chamber, 24 hours for challenge) induces contact hypersensitivity in female Hartley guinea pigs, with 62.5% of sensitized animals displaying positive patch test reactions after epicutaneous challenge[2].

Caused initial body weight loss with moderate ongoing reduction, decreased food intake, increased water consumption, increased relative liver weight, and mild histopathological changes including generalized hepatocellular swelling and renal tubular epithelial swelling (26 mg/kg/day, 4-week treatment).
Left blood clinicochemical parameters (total protein, BUN, creatinine, alkaline phosphatase, GPT) and hepatic microsomal parameters (protein, cytochrome P-450, glucose-6-phosphatase, malondialdehyde, O-demethylase activity) unchanged (26 mg/kg/day, 4-week treatment).

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.
- For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
- To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for In Vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
- The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline
Solubility: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (9.98 mM); Clear solution
