This derivative is reactive towards primary amine groups of biologically relevant compounds including intracellular proteins to form a thiourea linkage.
Close correlations between agents demonstrates biological and pharmacological importance and implies a common intracellular target despite dissimilarity in structure.
It may function as an integral membrane protein involved in cell-cell/matrix interactions, and may modulate intracellular calcium homoeostasis and other signal-transduction pathways.
These include receptor desensitization, alterations in intracellular transduction cascades and gene expression, the induction of neurogenesis, and modifications in synaptic architecture and signaling.
