  • 1,2-Dithiol-3-thione and Dithioester analogues: potential radioprotectors
    British Journal of Cancer, 1990
    Co-Authors: Ba Teicher, J Stemwedel, Ts Herman, Pk Ghoshal, A Rosowsky
    Abstract:

    Several 1,2-dithiol-3-thione and Dithioester compounds were assayed for radioprotective capabilities in EMT6 cells in vitro. The 1,2-dithiol-3-thiones were generally more cytotoxic than the Dithioesters and in some instances were more cytotoxic toward hypoxic cells than toward normally oxygenated cells. When the drugs were present at a concentration of 500 microM for 1 h prior to and during radiation delivery, the 5-(2-thienyl)-1,2-dithiol-3-thione produced a radiation protection factor (RPF) of 2.7 at 1 log of cell kill. The 4-methyl analogue of this same compound was, however, much less effective, producing a RPF of only 1.2. The 4-ethoxycarbonyl analogue was moderately active, producing a RPF of 1.7. The 4-methyl-5-(2-pyrazinyl)-1,2-dithiol-3-thione (Oltipraz) was least effective, yielding a RPF of only 1.1. Of the Dithioesters tested, methyl 3-pyrrolidino-2-phenylpropene dithiocarboxylate produced a RPF of 2.6, methyl 3-piperidino-2-phenylpropenedithiocarboxylate a RPF of 2.7, and the corresponding 3-morpholino and 3-thiomorpholino derivatives RPF values of 2.7 and 2.9, respectively. The iodide salt of 4-ethoxycarbonyl-5-(2-thienyl)-1,2-dithiol-3-thione produced a RPF of 2.6 Methyl 3-cyclohexylamino-2-phenylpropenedithiocarboxylate was equally effective (RPF = 2.6). Finally, methyl 3-morpholino-3-thienyl-2-methylpropenedithiocarboxylate and methyl 3-morpholino-3-(2-pyrazinyl)-2-methylpropenedithiocarboxylate were less effective, producing RPF values of 2.0 and 1.6, respectively. These results demonstrate that several of these compounds are highly effective radioprotectors. In vitro and in vivo studies testing their efficacy are underway.

  • Use of Original ω‐Perfluorinated Dithioesters for the Synthesis of Well‐Controlled Polymers by Reversible Addition‐Fragmentation Chain Transfer (RAFT)
    Macromolecular Chemistry and Physics, 2002
    Co-Authors: Pierre Lebreton, Bruno Ameduri, Bernard Boutevin, Jean-marc Corpart
    Abstract:

    A series of five fluorinated Dithioesters PhC(S)SRCH 2 C n F 2n+1 (where R represents an activating spacer and n= 6 or 8) was obtained in fair to high yields (57-88%). These transfer agents were successfully used in reversible addition-fragmentation transfer (RAFT) of styrene (S), methyl methacrylate (MMA), ethyl acrylate (EA) and 1,3-butadiene. Well-chosen fluorinated Dithioesters were able to lead to a good control of the radical polymerization of these monomers (i.e., molar masses of the produced polymers increased linearly with the monomer conversion and the polydispersity indexes ranging between 1.1 and 1.6 remained low). The relationship between the structures of the Dithioesters and the living behavior of the radical polymerization of these above monomers is discussed and it is shown that the nature of the R group influences the living behavior from different contributions to radical stabilization. Furthermoren the RAFT process alos yielded PMMA-b-PS and PEA-b-PS block copolymers bearing a fluorinated moiety.
