A large number of new ..YS'-diarylthioureas and similar sulphur compounds has been sj-nthesised for testing for tuberculostatic activity and inhibitorq-properties against influenza virus. The preparation of p-alkosyanilines, aryl isothiocyanates, and a series of aminonaphthaquinones and 1-arylpyrroles was also investigated.THIOUREA and its derivatives are tuberculostatic. Thiourea itself possesses a slight but definite activity i ~t zlitro, which is enhanced by appropriate substitution, as in allylthiourea
