As a signaling molecule, H_2S plays an important role in physiology and shows great potential in pharmaceutical applications. Along this line, there is a need for the development of H_2S prodrugs for various reasons. In this review, we summarize different H_2S prodrugs, their chemical properties, and some of their potential therapeutic applications.展开更多

Prodrug approaches have been broadly applied to deliver H2S for various applications and mechanistic studies. Since S-persulfidation and glutathionylation are known to be important in cellular signaling by sulfur species, there have been interests in developing donors of persulfide and glutathione persulfide as well. In this review, we discuss the recent development in area of prodrugs for various sulfur species.展开更多
