Chemical Structure & Functional Characteristics
Thiomersal is a thiol (sulfhydryl) compound composed of ethylmercury and thiosalicylate. Its antimicrobial efficacy arises from the controlled release of ethylmercury ions, which inhibit microbial enzymes and cellular metabolism. This mechanism provides broad-spectrum protection against bacteria and fungi, making product highly effective as a preservative in multi-dose formulations.
