2-Thiouracil (Thiouracil) is identified as a selective neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) inhibitor, with a Ki value of 20 μM. This compound is known to antagonize BH4-induced nNOS dimerization. Additionally, 2-Thiouracil functions as an antithyroid compound and a highly specific melanoma detector, and it has been observed to stimulate the growth of pea and corn root segments.
