Hypothiocyanite
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. 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. Of late, the exact processes for making hypothiocyanite have been patented as such an effective antimicrobial has many commercial applications. Whether or not this antimicrobial compound comprises the entirety of the immune system of the respiratory tract remains to be seen.; Hypothiocyanite is the anion [OSCN]- and the conjugate base of hypothiocyanous acid. It is an organic compound part of the thiocyanates as it contains the functional group SCN. It is formed when an oxygen is singly bonded to the thiocyanate group. Hypothiocyanous acid (HOSCN) is a fairly weak acid as its acid dissociation constant is 5.3 [HMDB] 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.
