Dipropyl trisulfide is a naturally occurring compound that is used as an analytical reagent. It has been shown to have potent anticancer effects on prostate cancer cells, which may be due to its ability to induce apoptosis and inhibit cell proliferation. Dipropyl trisulfide also possesses immunomodulatory effects, which may be due to its ability to block the synthesis of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), a potent inducer of inflammation. The biological properties of this compound are largely unknown, but it has been shown to have nitrogen atoms that can form covalent bonds with other compounds.
