Detection limit using the Fast Blue B chromagen was approximately 0.5 mug with recovery rates of 90-95%. Preparation, Structure, Reactions of Tetramethylthiuram disulfide: Thiuram disulfides are prepared by oxidizing the salts of the corresponding dithiocarbamates (e.g. sodium diethyldithiocarbamate). Typical oxidants employed include chlorine and hydrogen peroxide: 2 R2NCSSNa + Cl2 → (R2NCSS)2 + 2 NaCl Thiuram disulfides react with Grignard reagents to give esters of dithiocarbamic acid, as in the preparation of methyl dimethyldithiocarbamate: [Me2NC(S)S]2 + MeMgX → Me2NC(S)SMe + Me2NCS2MgX Tetramethylthiuram disulfide feature planar dithiocarbamate subunits and are linked by an S−S bond of 2.00 Å. The C(S)−N bond is short (1.33 Å), indicative of multiple bonding. The dihedral angle between the two dithiocarbamate subunits approaches 90°. Thiuram disulfides are weak oxidants. They can be reduced to dithiocarbamates. Treatment of a thiuram disulfide with triphenylphosphine, or with cyanide salts, yields the corresponding thiuram sulfide: (R2NCSS)2 + PPh3 → (R2NCS)2S + SPPh3 Chlorination of thiuram disulfide affords the thiocarbamoyl chloride. Properties of Tetramethylthiuram disulfide: Tetramethylthiuram disulfide is color white, light gray powder or granular. Tetramethylthiuram disulfide is density is 1.29. Tetramethylthiuram disulfide is soluble in benzene, acetone, chloroform, CS2 partly soluble in alcohol, diethyl ether, CCI4 insoluble in water, gasoline and alkali with lower concentration. Tetramethylthiuram disulfide is meeting hot water becomes to dimethylamine  ammonium and CS2. Action Mechanism of Tetramethylthiuram disulfide: Inhibition of hepatic dehydrogenases results in an acetaldehyde reaction on exposure to ethanol. Other effects may result from the known reactions of dithiocarbamates with metals, sulfhydryl-containing enzymes, or metabolism to reactive metabolites including carbon disulfide. Ingestion of the fungicide Tetramethylthiuram disulfide (125 mg/kg) has been reported to evoke ovarian atrophy and cessation of egg laying in hens, presumably through inhibition of dopamine beta-hydroxylase. Tetramethylthiuram disulfide was previously demonstrated that Disulfiram impairs the permeability of inner mitochondrial membrane (IMM). In this report, the effect of Disulfiram and Tetramethylthiuram disulfide structural analogue Tetramethylthiuram disulfide on mitochondrial functions was studied in detail. Tetramethylthiuram disulfide was found that mitochondria metabolize Tetramethylthiuram disulfide in a NAD(P)H- and GSH-dependent manner. At the concentration above characteristic threshold, TDs induced irreversible oxidation of NAD(P)H and glutathione (GSH) pools, collapse of transmembrane potential, and inhibition of oxidative phosphorylation. The presence of Ca(2+) and exhaustion of mitochondrial glutathione (GSH+GSSG) decreased the threshold concentration of TDs. TDs induced the mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT).

Clean up affected area. Avoid generation of dusts. Spillage Disposal of Tetramethylthiuram disulfide: Personal protection: Chemical protection suit including self-contained breathing apparatus. Do NOT let this chemical enter the environment. Sweep spilled substance into covered containers. Carefully collect remainder. Then store and dispose of according to local regulations. Cleanup Methods of Tetramethylthiuram disulfide: If Tetramethylthiuram disulfide is spilled, the following steps should be taken: 1. Ventilate area of spill. 2. For small quantities, sweep onto paper or other suitable material, place in an appropriate container. Quantities may be reclaimed. Environmental considerations: Land spill:  Dig a pit, pond, lagoon, holding area to contain liquid or solid material. If time permits, pits, ponds, lagoons, soak holes, or holding areas should be sealed with an impermeable flexible membrane liner. Dike surface flow using soil, sand bags, foamed polyurethane, or foamed concrete. Absorb bulk liquid with fly ash, cement powder, or commercial sorbents. Environmental considerations: Water spill: Use natural barriers or oil spill control booms to limit spill travel. Remove trapped material with suction hoses. Land spill: Dig a pit, pond, lagoon, holding area to contain liquid or solid material. Dike surface flow using soil, sand bags, foamed polyurethane,or foamed concrete. Absorb bulk liquid with fly ash, cement powder, or commercial sorbents. Apply "universal" gelling agent to immobilize spill. Apply appropriate foam to diminish vapor and fire hazard.
