This invention is directed to novel and known stufur containing compounds and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof that have utility as antifungals and as antiproliferative agents against mammalian cells, in particular cancer cells and most particularly leukemia-derived cells. The invention provides a method for synthesizing certain of the sulfur containing compounds that is more efficient than previously known methods.

Recently developed synthetic methodology has been exploited for the preparation of an assortment of alpha,alpha'-disubstituted disulfides including all three linkage isomeric types of alpha,alpha'-diester dimethyl disulfides. Two of the diesters are very powerful antifungal agents against Aspergillus niger and Aspergillus flavus. An alpha -ester alpha'-sulfone disulfide is the most powerful fungitoxin developed by this ongoing research effort.
