amoscanate amoscanate amoscanate (inn), also known as nithiocyamine, is an experimental anthelmintic agent of the aryl isothiocyanate class which was found to be highly effective in animals against the four major species of schistosomes which infect humans, and is also highly active against hookworm infection. however, significant liver toxicity was seen in lab animals at higher doses. the ether analogue of amoscanate, nitroscanate, is used in veterinary medicine as an anthelmintic. amoscanate names preferred iupac name 4-isothiocyanato-n-(4-nitrophenyl)aniline other names 4-isothiocyanato-4′-nitrodiphenylaminenithiocyamine identifiers cas number 26328-53-0 y 3d model (jsmol) interactive imageinteractive image chebi chebi:38944 y chembl chembl93385 y chemspider 30904 y pubchem cid 33488 unii x0mk46cvrb y comptox dashboard (epa) dtxsid90180946 inchi inchi=1s/c13h9n3o2s/c17-16(18)13-7-5-12(6-8-13)15-11-3-1-10(2-4-11)14-9-19/h1-8,15h ykey: dkvnagxprsyhlb-uhfffaoysa-n yinchi=1/c13h9n3o2s/c17-16(18)13-7-5-12(6-8-13)15-11-3-1-10(2-4-11)14-9-19/h1-8,15h smiles o=n(=o)c1ccc(nc2ccc(cc2)n=c=s)cc1 (=o)c1ccc(cc1)nc2ccc(n=c=s)cc2 properties chemical formula c13h9n3o2s molar mass 271.29 g·mol−1 melting point 204 to 206 °c (399 to 403 °f; 477 to 479 k) except where otherwise noted, data are given for materials in their standard state (at 25 °c , 100 kpa). y verify (what is yn ?) infobox references amoscanate was developed by ciba.
