Glutathione peroxidase mimics based on conformationally-restricted,peri-like, 4,5-disubstituted fluorene dichalcogenides

Glutathione peroxidase (GPx) regulates cellular peroxide levels through glutathione oxidation. GPx-mimics based on 4,5-disubstituted fluorene diselenides, their oxides, and ditellurides show catalytic activities consistent with conformational restriction

Preparation method of symmetric disulfide bond-containing compound

The method comprises the following steps: adding a raw material and an oxidant to a reaction bottle containing a solvent; reacting 23W - 85W under the irradiation of 12 - 24h energy-saving lamps; and purifying the reaction product to obtain symmetrical disulfide bond-containing compounds. The raw material is mercaptan or thiophenol. The oxidizing agent is trichlorobromomethane, and the solvent is tetrahydrofuran. The method has the advantages of simple operation, high yield (70 - 90%), wide applicability, cheap and easily available raw materials, and provides a better way for the synthesis and production of symmetrical disulfide bond-containing compounds.

Trisulfides over disulfides: Highly selective synthetic strategies, anti-proliferative activities and sustained H2S release profiles

Temperature-and solvent-induced selective synthesis of trisulfides and disulfides is demonstrated. A remarkable selectivity was achieved using Na2S as a sulfur-Transfer agent under mild, greener, catalyst-free and additive-free conditions. This study reveals trisulfides as a better model than disulfides in general for a sustained release of H2S and potent anti-cancer activities.

Base-controlled Fe(Pc)-catalyzed aerobic oxidation of thiols for the synthesis of S-S and S-P(O) bonds

Fe(Pc)-Catalyzed aerobic oxidation of thiols for the synthesis of disulfides has been developed under mild reaction conditions. In addition, an aerobic oxidative cross-dehydrogenative coupling (CDC) reaction of thiols with P(O)-H compounds (H-phosphonates and H-phosphine oxide) for the formation of S-P(O) bonds has been demonstrated under the Fe(Pc) catalysis system with a base additive. Control experiments revealed that the use of a base (DIPA) in this system controls the synthetic pathways in which thiophosphates are formed.

Copper(II) activation of nitrite: Nitrosation of nucleophiles and generation of NO by thiols

Nitrite (NO2-) and nitroso compounds (E-NO, E = RS, RO, and R2N) in mammalian plasma and cells serve important roles in nitric oxide (NO) dependent as well as NO independent signaling. Employing an electron deficient β-diketiminato copper(II) nitrito complex [C12NNf6]Cu(κ2-O2N)-THF, thiols mediate reduction of nitrite to NO. In contrast to NO generation upon reaction of thiols at iron nitrite species, at copper this conversion proceeds through nucleophilic attack of thiol RSH on the bound nitrite in [CuII](κ2-O2N) that leads to S-nitrosation to give the S-nitrosothiol RSNO and copper(Il) hydroxide [CuII]-OH. This nitrosation pathway is general and results in the nitrosation of the amine Ph2NH and alcohol tBuOH to give Ph2NNO and tBuONO, respectively. NO formation from thiols occurs from the reaction of RSNO and a copper(II) thiolate [CuII]-SR intermediate formed upon reaction of an additional equiv thiol with [CuII]-OH.

Synthesis and in vitro biological evaluation of thiosulfinate derivatives for the treatment of human multidrug-resistant breast cancer

Organosulfur compounds derived from Allium vegetables have long been recognized for various therapeutic effects, including anticancer activity. Allicin, one of the main biologically active components of garlic, shows promise as an anticancer agent; however, instability makes it unsuitable for clinical application. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of stabilized allicin derivatives on human breast cancer cells in vitro. In this study, a total of 22 stabilized thiosulfinate derivatives were synthesized and screened for their in vitro antiproliferative activities against drug-sensitive (MCF-7) and multidrug-resistant (MCF-7/Dx) human adenocarcinoma breast cancer cells. Assays for cell death, apoptosis, cell cycle progression and mitochondrial bioenergetic function were performed. Seven compounds (4b, 7b, 8b, 13b, 14b, 15b and 18b) showed greater antiproliferative activity against MCF-7/Dx cells than allicin. These compounds were also selective towards multidrug-resistant (MDR) cells, a consequence attributed to collateral sensitivity. Among them, 13b exhibited the greatest anticancer activity in both MCF-7/Dx and MCF-7 cells, with IC50 values of 18.54±0.24 and 46.50±1.98 μmol/L, respectively. 13b altered cellular morphology and arrested the cell cycle at the G2/M phase. Additionally, 13b dose-dependently induced apoptosis, and inhibited cellular mitochondrial respiration in cells at rest and under stress. MDR presents a significant obstacle to the successful treatment of cancer clinically. These results demonstrate that thiosulfinate derivatives have potential as novel anticancer agents and may offer new therapeutic strategies for the treatment of chemoresistant cancers.

A convenient method for the aerobic oxidation of thiols to disulfides

Thiols are oxidized to the corresponding disulfides using K +/CH3CN system under ambient conditions in the presence of air. This system provides a convenient, rapid, and efficient aerobic oxidative for the syntheses of symmetrical disulfides.
