Abstract

Thioureas have great medicinal applications as well as non-medicinal activities in industry, analytical chemistry and metallurgy. This review is a glimpse of methods of synthesis and applications of thioureas in the field of medicine and agriculture. Thioureas have a number of medicinal applications and a number of thioureas are in clinical use. Medicinal applications of thioureas are increasing with the passage of time. In the field of agriculture, thioureas are used as insect growth regulator, anti-fungal agents and herbicides.
