Abstract:
Organosulfur compounds have demonstrated protective activity against sulfur mustard HD, bis2-chloroethyl sulfide. Twenty three compounds, many representing new compositions of matter, have been prepared in the first half of this program. These include derivatives of thiavitamin E, glutathione, thiacholesterol, pyridine and benzothiazole. The program has expanded the ability to prepare unsymmetric disulfides of interest and the utility of 2- mercaptobenzothiazole and alkoxycarbonylsulfenyl chlorides in this program. These compounds, largely based upon monothiols, form the platform upon which to develop targets related to BAL and related systems. We currently are awaiting details of bioassay studies.
