Thioredoxin reductase (TrxR, EC 1.8.1.9), also TXNRD, is a homodimeric NADPH-dependent flavoenzyme that reduces oxidized thioredoxin; mammalian forms are selenoproteins (TrxR1, TrxR2, TGR) and drug targets in cancer and parasitic disease.

Thioridazine

Thioridazine, formerly marketed as Mellaril, is a phenothiazine antipsychotic first synthesized in 1958 that was used for psychoses including schizophrenia until branded versions were withdrawn worldwide in 2005 over cardiac arrhythmia risk.

Thiosemicarbazide

Thiosemicarbazide, also called aminothiourea, is an organic compound with formula CH₅N₃S, used as a chemical intermediate, analytical reagent, and rodenticide, and is fatal if swallowed.

Thiosulfate

Thiosulfate is a divalent sulfur oxoanion with the formula S2O3(2-), a sulfate analog in which one oxygen is replaced by sulfur, most often encountered as sodium thiosulfate.

Thiosulfate dehydrogenase

Thiosulfate dehydrogenase (TsdA), EC 1.8.2.2, is a periplasmic diheme c-type cytochrome that reversibly condenses two thiosulfate molecules into tetrathionate, releasing two electrons; distinct from TQO and SoxAX.

Thiosulfate sulfurtransferase domain-containing protein

Thiosulfate sulfurtransferase domain-containing proteins carry the rhodanese fold; the prototype TST (EC 2.8.1.1, rhodanese) is a mitochondrial enzyme detoxifying cyanide to thiocyanate and regulating H2S and Fe–S sulfur metabolism.

Thiosulfate sulfurtransferase, bacterial

Bacterial thiosulfate sulfurtransferase (rhodanese, EC 2.8.1.1), e.g. E. coli GlpE and PspE, transfers sulfane sulfur from thiosulfate to cyanide or dithiols via a cysteine persulfide intermediate, supporting cyanide detoxification, sulfur trafficking, and thiosulfate assimilation.

Thiosultap sodium

Thiosultap sodium (monosultap; disodium salt bisultap/dimehypo) is a nereistoxin-analogue, IRAC Group 14 nAChR channel-blocker insecticide, a pro-insecticide converting to nereistoxin, used mainly on rice stem borers; first registered Japan 1993, not EU-approved.

Thiouracil

Thiouracil is a sulfur-containing uracil derivative that inhibits thyroid peroxidase and blocks thyroid hormone synthesis; the first thionamide antithyroid drug, it was abandoned for toxicity.

Thiourea

Thiourea, also called thiocarbamide, is an organosulfur compound with formula CH₄N₂S, the sulfur analog of urea, used as an industrial intermediate and gold leaching reagent.

Thiourea organocatalysis

Thiourea organocatalysis is a branch of organocatalysis in which metal-free thiourea derivatives activate substrates through dual hydrogen bonding; chiral thioureas like Takemoto's 2003 catalyst are prominent in asymmetric synthesis.
