Malotilate is a pharmaceutical compound with the chemical formula C12H16O4S2 and a molar mass of about 288.38 grams per mole. It has been studied for the treatment of liver disease, and research has shown it can facilitate liver regeneration in animal studies, including rats. Its precise mechanism of action beyond these observed hepatoprotective effects in animal models is not well documented. Malotilate is classified as an experimental compound with no assigned Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical code, indicating that it has not achieved standard drug regulatory approval, and its legal and marketing status in most jurisdictions remains unclear.
