Member	Definition	Role
1-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-2-thiocyanate-ethanone	A member of the class of thiocyanates that is 3,4-dihydroxyacetophenone in which one of the methyl hydrogens has been replaced by the sulfur of a cyanosulfanediyl (-SC#N) group. It has been found to induce the expression of the endoplasmic reticulum chaperone protein GRP78 (78 kDa glucose-regulated protein, BiP, a highly conserved member of the 70 kDa heat shock protein family) leading to an attenuation of the unfolded protein response. It protects neuronal cells and retinal cells from endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-stress induced cell death.	2-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-2-oxoethyl thiocyanate
2,4-dinitrothiocyanatobenzene	A thiocyanate compound having a 2,4-dinitrophenyl group attached to the sulfur atom.	2,4-dinitro-1-thiocyanatobenzene
allyl thiocyanate		allyl thiocyanate
benzyl thiocyanate		benzyl thiocyanate
methyl thiocyanate	A member of the class of thiocyanates that is the methyl ester of thiocyanic acid.	methyl thiocyanate
methylene bis(thiocyanate)	A member of the class of thiocyanates that is methane in which two of the hycrogens have been replaced by thiocyanato groups. Used as a biocide for the control of various pathogens and algae in industrial water systems and as a fungicide for the control of surface moulds and sapstain fungi on wood.	methylene bis(thiocyanate)
