Abstract

Abstract Some disulfides have previously been shown to possess antifungal and/or antileukaemic activity. Importantly, this cytotoxicity can be selective. We have previously shown that a subset of these compounds does not block the proliferative potential of normal, non-transformed cells. Based on these results and proposed mechanisms of action, a new set of structurally modified organosulfur compounds, including α-substituted disulfides and ...
