A series of thiosulfonates have been prepared and tested against
Aspergillus niger and
Aspergillus flavus. In general, the thiosulfonates are
moderate antifungal agents—more potent than corresponding inactive
disulfides and less potent than corresponding very active fungitoxic
disulfides. Apair of thiosulfonates show high selectivity, each killing only
one kind of fungus.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
