Expert Verdict
Isothiocyanates can be irritating or sensitizing at higher concentrations; careful dosing required; the methylthio chain adds lipophilicity. Structurally related to naturally occurring isothiocyanates found in cruciferous plants (e.g., sulforaphane analogs); the methylthiohexyl chain suggests a longer-chain lipophilic variant
