α-Naphthylthiourea (ANTU, Dirax) is an organosulfur compound. It is a derivative of thiourea and used as a rodenticide. It acts by inducing pulmonary edema and has relatively selective toxicity for rats.^[1]

Safety

Currently, the substance is banned for use in plant protection by the UK government.^[2]
