Common NameHypothiocyanite
DescriptionHypothiocyanite, also known as cyanosulfoxylate or hypocyanous acid, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as thiocyanates. These are salts or esters of thiocyanic acid, with the general formula RSC#N (R=alkyl, aryl). ; Hypothiocyanite is the anion - and the conjugate base of hypothiocyanous acid. Whether or not this antimicrobial compound comprises the entirety of the immune system of the respiratory tract remains to be seen. Hypothiocyanite is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Of late, the exact processes for making hypothiocyanite have been patented as such an effective antimicrobial has many commercial applications. It has been researched extensively for its capabilities as an alternative antibiotic as it is harmless to human body cells while being cytotoxic to bacteria. Hypothiocyanite was first documented in 2009 (PMID: 19705807). As it is an organic compound, hypothiocyanite occurs naturally in the antimicrobial immune system of the human respiratory tract in a redox reaction catalyzed by the enzyme lactoperoxidase (PMID: 19821602) (PMID: 22031955) (PMID: 23540488) (PMID: 24657078) (PMID: 24928513) (PMID: 25393952).
