Description

Application
6-Propyl-2-thiouracil has been used as a screening agent for testing the intensity of taste by labeled magnitude scale (LMS). 6-Propyl-2-thiouracil is a thyreostatic (thyroid hormone) agent that may be used as a reference material in thyreostatic drug separation and detection technologies such as capillary electrophoresis high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) or gas chromatography.

Purpose
For R&D use onlynot for drug household or other uses.

General Description
Propylthiouracil (PTU) or 6-n-propylthiouracil (PROP) is a thiouracil-derived drug used to treat hyperthyroidism (including Graves disease) by decreasing the amount of thyroid hormone produced by the thyroid gland. Its notable side effects include a risk of agranulocytosis and aplastic anemia.
