Carbon disulfide (CS₂), identified by its CAS number 75-15-0, plays a significant, albeit often indirect, role within the pharmaceutical industry. While not typically a direct active pharmaceutical ingredient (API), its utility as a chemical intermediate and a specialized solvent makes it a valuable compound for pharmaceutical manufacturers aiming to produce complex molecules and specialized formulations.

One of the key contributions of carbon disulfide to pharmaceuticals is its function as a building block in the synthesis of various sulfur-containing organic compounds. Many pharmaceuticals incorporate sulfur atoms into their molecular structure to achieve specific therapeutic properties, such as enhanced bioavailability, metabolic stability, or targeted receptor binding. CS₂ provides a readily available and reactive source of sulfur, enabling chemists to construct these complex sulfur-containing moieties efficiently. For example, its reaction with amines yields dithiocarbamates, a class of compounds that have found applications in drug development and as intermediates for more complex pharmaceutical agents.

Furthermore, carbon disulfide's strong solvent properties are leveraged in certain pharmaceutical processes. It can be used as a solvent for specific reactions or for the purification of intermediates and final products where its unique solvency characteristics are advantageous. The ability to dissolve a wide range of organic compounds, including certain types of APIs or their precursors, can be critical in achieving high yields and purity in pharmaceutical manufacturing.
