Propylthiouracil

Fabricate a 3D molecular structure model of Propylthiouracil from Genuine Molymod Model Parts by Indigo

Propylthiouracil (PTU) is an antithyroid drug belonging to the thioamide drug class. Propylthiouracil's chemical structure is a pyrimidinethione where the 2-oxo group & the hydrogen in position 6 in uracil have thio & propyl groups substituted, respectively. Propylthiouracil can be prepared from ethyl 3-oxohexanoate and thiourea. (For the taste testing see thiorurea taste test strip).
