Usage

General Description

2,2-Dimethyl-1,3-dithiolane-4-methanol, also known as dimethyldithiolane, is a chemical compound that is commonly used as a flavoring agent and fragrance ingredient. It has a strong, fruity scent and is often used in perfumes and a variety of food products for its aromatic properties. Dimethyldithiolane is also used as a solvent and as a building block in the synthesis of other chemical compounds. It is a clear, colorless liquid with a low boiling point and is considered to be relatively stable under normal conditions. However, it should be handled with care and stored in a cool, dry place, away from sources of ignition.

Novel Dithiolane-Based Ligands Combining Sigma and NMDA Receptor Interactions as Potential Neuroprotective Agents

Sigma receptors (SRs) are recognized as valuable targets for the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders. A series of novel SRs ligands were designed by combining key pharmacophoric amines (i.e., benzylpiperidine or benzylpiperazine) with new 1,3-dithiolane-based heterocycles and their bioisosters. The new compounds exhibited a low nanomolar affinity for sigma-1 and sigma-2 receptors. Five selected compounds were evaluated for their neuroprotective capacity on SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cell line. They were able to counteract the neurotoxicity induced by rotenone, oligomycin and NMDA. Competition studies with PB212, a S1R antagonist, confirmed the involvement of S1R in neuroprotection from the oxidative stress induced by rotenone. Electrophysiological experiments performed on cortical neurons in culture highlighted the compounds ability to reduce NMDA-evoked currents, suggesting a negative allosteric modulator activity toward the NMDA receptor. Altogether these results qualify our novel dithiolane derivatives as potential agents for fighting neurodegeneration.

Comparative radioprotective activity of various pentagonal compounds with two heteroatomes

Various heterocyclic compounds with two heteroatomes were synthesized and their potential radioprotective activity was tested. This study shows the interest of phenylthiazolidines derivatives in chemical radioprotection.
