Pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate

Pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC) is are a family of closely related drugs used for a metal chelation, induction of G1 phase cell cycle arrest,[1] and preventing induction of nitric oxide synthase.[2]

Chemistry

Pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate is jargon for various salts containing the pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate anion C4H8NS2-. Dithiocarbamic acids are rarely stable. Typical salts are ammonium and the sodium derivatives.
