Rhodanine is an organic compound derived from thiazolidine. Rhodanine can be prepared by the reaction of carbon disulfide ammonia and chloroacetic acid.Some derivatives of rhodanine have pharmacological properties such as epalrestat which is used to treat diabetic neuropathy. However most are promiscuous binders with poor selectivity and as a result this class of compounds is viewed with suspicion by medicinal chemists.
