Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is recognized as one of three gasotransmitters together with nitric oxide (NO) and carbon monoxide (CO). As a signaling molecule, H2S plays an important role in physiology and shows great potential in pharmaceutical applications. Along this line, there is a need for the development of H2S prodrugs for various reasons. In this review, we summarize different H2S prodrugs, their chemical properties, and some of their potential therapeutic applications.
硫化氢(H₂S)与一氧化氮(NO)和一氧化碳(CO)一起被公认为三种气体信号分子之一。作为一种信号分子,H₂S在生理学中发挥着重要作用,并在药物应用中显示出巨大潜力。因此,出于各种原因,需要开发H₂S前药。在这篇综述中,我们总结了不同的H₂S前药、它们的化学性质以及一些潜在的治疗应用。
