Methylisothiazolinone preservative C016 / 8097
Methylisothiazolinone preservative molecule. Computer artwork showing the structure of a molecule of the biocide and preservative chemical methylisothiazolinone (MIT). MIT and other isothiazolinone-derived biocides are used to control microbial growth in water-containing solutions. MIT is often used in personal care products however, some studies have shown it to be allergenic and cytotoxic, leading to some concern over its use. Atoms are coloured coded spheres: carbon (black), hydrogen (white), oxygen (red), sulphur (yellow), nitrogen (blue); with the bonds between them shown as rods

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate structure of the methylisothiazolinone (MIT) preservative molecule. Created through computer artwork, this image provides a detailed visualization of MIT, a biocide and preservative chemical widely used to control microbial growth in water-containing solutions. While MIT is commonly found in personal care products, recent studies have raised concerns about its potential allergenic and cytotoxic properties. The scientific community has been exploring these effects, leading to discussions surrounding its use. The visual representation highlights the molecular arrangement of MIT with atoms represented by color-coded spheres: carbon (black), hydrogen (white), oxygen (red), sulphur (yellow), and nitrogen (blue). The bonds between them are depicted as rods, emphasizing the complex nature of this biochemical compound. With its white background and cut-out design, this illustration stands out as an informative piece within biology and biochemistry fields. It serves as a valuable resource for healthcare professionals, researchers, and individuals interested in understanding the molecular structure of MIT and its implications on various products. This print from Science Photo Library offers an engaging glimpse into the world of chemicals used in our everyday lives while shedding light on ongoing research regarding their safety.
