About

A specialty synthetic with a sulforaphane-related sulfoxide motif and a piperidine thioamide. Novel, unreviewed — caution warranted.

Methylsulfinylbutyl Piperidinecarbothioamide (CAS 1350914-98-5) is a small synthetic molecule combining a methylsulfinylbutyl side chain (the pharmacophore of sulforaphane, an isothiocyanate/sulfoxide derived from broccoli) with a piperidine thioamide group. Thioamides are classically bioactive — they are the core structure of thyroid-inhibitor drugs (methimazole, propylthiouracil), which raises concern about off-target pharmacological activity even at cosmetic exposure. The sulfoxide motif is reactive. No CIR or SCCS review. Public safety and efficacy data in cosmetics is essentially absent outside supplier materials. Default-cautious scoring strongly applies.
