This invention is directed to novel and known stufur containing compounds and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof that have utility as antifungals and as antiproliferative agents against mammalian cells, in particular cancer cells and most particularly leukemia-derived cells. The invention provides a method for synthesizing certain of the sulfur containing compounds that is more efficient than previously known methods.

From a design principle described in an earlier paper, a new series of substituted aryl methyl disulfides have been prepared and tested against Aspergillus niger and Aspergillus flavus. Methyl p-nitrophenyl disulfide is more potent (by an order of magnitude) than the fungitoxic natural product (CH3SCH2S)2. With the present rationale in hand, one can anticipate which Polycarpamine is an effective antifungal agent. CSIRO 2000.
