- Overview
  - 5-Chloro-2-methyl-3-isothiazolone (CMIT) is a highly water-soluble apoptotic agent and preservative with numerous applications. It is used in anti-microbial coatings, latex formulations, hydraulic fracturing fluids, pesticides and cosmetics. CMIT in conjunction with 2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one (MIT) is marketed as Kathon. CMIT is also an allergen. CMIT is active against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, yeasts and fungi. CMIT is believed to form mixed disulfides with protein thiol groups which then undergo thiol-disulfide exchange reactions to give mixed protein thiol disulfides leading to cell apoptosis and necrosis.
