Sixteen disulfides derived from disulfiram (Antabuse™) were evaluated as antibacterial
agents. Derivatives with hydrocarbon chains of seven and eight carbons in length exhibited …

Garlic (Allium sativum L.) has been used as a spice and medicinal plant since ancient times.
Garlic produces the thiol-reactive defence substance, allicin, upon wounding. The effects of …

A Cook's tour is presented of the organosulfur chemistry of the genus Allium, as represented,
inter alia, by garlic (Allium sativum L.) and onion (Allium cepa L.). We report on the …

The impact of the development of sulfur therapeutics is instrumental to the evolution of the
pharmaceutical industry. Sulfur-derived functional groups can be found in a broad range of …

Alk (en) yl trisulfides (R-SSS-R′) are organosulfur compounds produced by crushed garlic
and other Allium vegetables. We found that these compounds exhibit potent anticancer …

Hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) is an endogenously generated and putative signaling/effector
molecule. Despite its numerous reported functions, the chemistry by which it elicits its …

Abstract Significance: Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) plays roles in many physiological processes,
including relaxation of vascular smooth muscles, mediation of neurotransmission, inhibition …

The understanding of sulfur bonding is undergoing change. Old theories on hypervalency of
sulfur and the nature of the chalcogen-chalcogen bond are now questioned. At the same …

The importance of sulfur compounds to the flavor and off-flavor characteristics of foods is
well known and continues to be studied. Mechanistic studies have led to a greater …

Sulfane sulfur is common inside cells, playing both regulatory and antioxidant roles.
However, there are unresolved issues about its chemistry and biochemistry. We report the …
