Understanding hydrogen sulfide storage: probing conditions for sulfide release from hydrodisulfides.

ABSTRACT: Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is an important biological signaling agent that exerts action on numerous (patho)physiological processes. Once generated, H2S can be oxidized to generate reductant-labile sulfane sulfur pools, which include hydrodisulfides/persulfides. Despite the importance of hydrodisulfides in H2S storage and signaling, little is known about the physical properties or chemical reactivity of these compounds. We report here the synthesis, isolation, and characterization (NMR, IR, Raman, HRMS, X-ray) of a small-molecule hydrodisulfide and highlight its reactivity with reductants, nucleophiles, electrophiles, acids, and bases. Our experimental results establish that hydrodisulfides release H2S upon reduction and that deprotonation results in disproportionation to the parent thiol and S(0), thus providing a mechanism for transsulfuration in the sulfane sulfur pool.

Cyclic Sulfenyl Thiocarbamates Release Carbonyl Sulfide and Hydrogen Sulfide Independently in Thiol-Promoted Pathways.

Project description:Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is an important signaling molecule that provides protective activities in a variety of physiological and pathological processes. Among the different types of H2S donor compounds, thioamides have attracted attention due to prior conjugation to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) to access H2S-NSAID hybrids with significantly reduced toxicity, but the mechanism of H2S release from thioamides remains unclear. Herein, we reported the synthesis and evaluation of a class of thioamide-derived sulfenyl thiocarbamates (SulfenylTCMs) that function as a new class of H2S donors. These compounds are efficiently activated by cellular thiols to release carbonyl sulfide (COS), which is quickly converted to H2S by carbonic anhydrase (CA). In addition, through mechanistic investigations, we establish that COS-independent H2S release pathways are also operative. In contrast to the parent thioamide-based donors, the SulfenylTCMs exhibit excellent H2S releasing efficiencies of up to 90% and operate through mechanistically well-defined pathways. In addition, we demonstrate that the sulfenyl thiocarbamate group is readily attached to common NSAIDs, such as naproxen, to generate YZ-597 as an efficient H2S-NSAID hybrid, which we demonstrate releases H2S in cellular environments. Taken together, this new class of H2S donor motifs provides an important platform for new donor development.

Synthesis, Stability, and Kinetics of Hydrogen Sulfide Release of Dithiophosphates.

Project description:The development of chemicals to slowly release hydrogen sulfide would aid the survival of plants under environmental stressors as well as increase harvest yields. We report a series of dialkyldithiophosphates and disulfidedithiophosphates that slowly degrade to release hydrogen sulfide in the presence of water. Kinetics of the degradation of these chemicals were obtained at 85 °C and room temperature, and it was shown that the identity of the alkyl or sulfide group had a large impact on the rate of hydrolysis, and the rate constant varied by more than 104×. For example, using tert-butanol as the nucleophile yielded a dithiophosphate (8) that hydrolyzed 13,750× faster than the dithiophosphate synthesized from n-butanol (1), indicating that the rate of hydrolysis is structure-dependent. The rates of hydrolysis at 85 °C varied from a low value of 6.9 × 10-4 h-1 to a high value of 14.1 h-1. Hydrogen sulfide release in water was also quantified using a hydrogen sulfide-sensitive electrode. Corn was grown on an industrial scale and dosed with dibutyldithiophosphate to show that these dithiophosphates have potential applications in agriculture. At a loading of 2 kg per acre, a 6.4% increase in the harvest yield of corn was observed.

Thiol-Activated 1,2,4-Thiadiazolidin-3,5-diones Release Hydrogen Sulfide through a Carbonyl-Sulfide-Dependent Pathway.

Project description:Recent efforts have expanded the development of small molecule donors that release the important biological signaling molecule hydrogen sulfide (H2S). Previous work on 1,2,4-thiadiazolidin-3,5-diones (TDZNs) reported that these compounds release H2S directly, albeit inefficiently. However, TDZNs showed promising efficacy in H2S-mediated relaxation in ex vivo aortic ring relaxation models. Here, we show that TDZNs release carbonyl sulfide (COS) efficiently, which can be converted to H2S by the enzyme carbonic anhydrase (CA) rather than releasing H2S directly as previously reported.

Hydrogen sulfide signaling in plant adaptations to adverse conditions: molecular mechanisms.

Project description:Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a signaling molecule that regulates critical processes and allows plants to adapt to adverse conditions. The molecular mechanism underlying H2S action relies on its chemical reactivity, and the most-well characterized mechanism is persulfidation, which involves the modification of protein thiol groups, resulting in the formation of persulfide groups. This modification causes a change of protein function, altering catalytic activity or intracellular location and inducing important physiological effects. H2S cannot react directly with thiols but instead can react with oxidized cysteine residues; therefore, H2O2 signaling through sulfenylation is required for persulfidation. A comparative study performed in this review reveals 82% identity between sulfenylome and persulfidome. With regard to abscisic acid (ABA) signaling, widespread evidence shows an interconnection between H2S and ABA in the plant response to environmental stress. Proteomic analyses have revealed persulfidation of several proteins involved in the ABA signaling network and have shown that persulfidation is triggered in response to ABA. In guard cells, a complex interaction of H2S and ABA signaling has also been described, and the persulfidation of specific signaling components seems to be the underlying mechanism.

Biocompatible metal-organic frameworks for the storage and therapeutic delivery of hydrogen sulfide.

Project description:Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is an endogenous gasotransmitter with potential therapeutic value for treating a range of disorders, such as ischemia-reperfusion injury resulting from a myocardial infarction or stroke. However, the medicinal delivery of H2S is hindered by its corrosive and toxic nature. In addition, small molecule H2S donors often generate other reactive and sulfur-containing species upon H2S release, leading to unwanted side effects. Here, we demonstrate that H2S release from biocompatible porous solids, namely metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), is a promising alternative strategy for H2S delivery under physiologically relevant conditions. In particular, through gas adsorption measurements and density functional theory calculations we establish that H2S binds strongly and reversibly within the tetrahedral pockets of the fumaric acid-derived framework MOF-801 and the mesaconic acid-derived framework Zr-mes, as well as the new itaconic acid-derived framework CORN-MOF-2. These features make all three frameworks among the best materials identified to date for the capture, storage, and delivery of H2S. In addition, these frameworks are non-toxic to HeLa cells and capable of releasing H2S under aqueous conditions, as confirmed by fluorescence assays. Last, a cellular ischemia-reperfusion injury model using H9c2 rat cardiomyoblast cells corroborates that H2S-loaded MOF-801 is capable of mitigating hypoxia-reoxygenation injury, likely due to the release of H2S. Overall, our findings suggest that H2S-loaded MOFs represent a new family of easily-handled solid sources of H2S that merit further investigation as therapeutic agents. In addition, our findings add Zr-mes and CORN-MOF-2 to the growing lexicon of biocompatible MOFs suitable for drug delivery.

Hydrogen Sulfide in Pharmacotherapy, Beyond the Hydrogen Sulfide-Donors.

Project description:Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is one of the important biological mediators involved in physiological and pathological processes in mammals. Recently developed H2S donors show promising effects against several pathological processes in preclinical and early clinical studies. For example, H2S donors have been found to be effective in the prevention of gastrointestinal ulcers during anti-inflammatory treatment. Notably, there are well-established medicines used for the treatment of a variety of diseases, whose chemical structure contains sulfur moieties and may release H2S. Hence, the therapeutic effect of these drugs may be partly the result of the release of H2S occurring during drug metabolism and/or the effect of these drugs on the production of endogenous hydrogen sulfide. In this work, we review data regarding sulfur drugs commonly used in clinical practice that can support the hypothesis about H2S-dependent pharmacotherapeutic effects of these drugs.

Esterase-Sensitive Prodrugs with Tunable Release Rates and Direct Generation of Hydrogen Sulfide.

Project description:Prodrugs that release hydrogen sulfide upon esterase-mediated cleavage of an ester group followed by lactonization are described herein. By modifying the ester group and thus its susceptibility to esterase, and structural features critical to the lactonization rate, H2 S release rates can be tuned. Such prodrugs directly release hydrogen sulfide without the involvement of perthiol species, which are commonly encountered with existing H2 S donors. Additionally, such prodrugs can easily be conjugated to another non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent, leading to easy synthesis of hybrid prodrugs. As a biological validation of the H2 S prodrugs, the anti-inflammatory effects of one such prodrug were examined by studying its ability to inhibit LPS-induced TNF-α production in RAW 264.7 cells. This type of H2 S prodrugs shows great potential as both research tools and therapeutic agents.

Planar carbon electrodes for real-time quantification of hydrogen sulfide release from cells.

Project description:A planar electrode system was developed to permit the real-time, selective detection of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) from stimulated cells. Planar carbon electrodes were produced via stencil printing carbon ink through a laser cut vinyl mask. Electrodes were preconditioned using a constant potential amperometry methodology to prevent sensor drift resulting from elemental sulfur adsorption. Modification with a bilaminar coating (electropolymerized ortho-phenylenediamine and a fluorinated xerogel) facilitated high selectivity to H2S. To demonstrate the biological application of this planar sensor system, H2S released from 17β-estradiol-stimulated human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) was quantified in situ in real-time. Stimulated HUVECs released sustained H2S levels for hours before returning to baseline. Cellular viability assays demonstrated negligible cell cytotoxicity at the electrochemical potentials required for analysis.
