Description

3-Amino-1,2,4-dithiazole-5-thione is a sulfur containing compound that is used as an anticancer drug. It inhibits the growth of cancer cells by reacting with nucleophilic sites on the cancer cell's DNA and preventing it from dividing. 3-Amino-1,2,4-dithiazole-5-thione inhibits fatty acid synthesis and hydrolyzes into acid conjugates that react with nitrite ions to form nitrosothiols. Nitrosothiols are known to cause inflammatory diseases in humans, such as asthma and cystic fibrosis.
