Abstract

A small library of arylthioamides 1–12 was easily synthesized, and their H2S-releasing properties were evaluated both in the absence or in the presence of an organic thiol such as l-cysteine. A number of arylthioamides (1–3 and 7) showed a slow and l-cysteine-dependent H2S-releasing mechanism, similar to that exhibited by the reference slow H2S-releasing agents, such as diallyl disulfide (DADS) and the phosphinodithioate derivative GYY 4137. ...
