Provided are mucolytic agents represented by formula (la)-(ld) where the structural variables Rl, R2, R5 and R6 are as defined herein. Also provided are a variety of methods of treatment which take advantage of the mucolytic properties of the compounds represented by formula (la)-(ld). One object of the present invention relates to a method to increase the liquefaction of mucus in a patient with excessive mucus or mucus with increased viscoelastic, cohesive, or adhesive properties. The method includes the step of contacting the mucus of a patient with abnormal or excessive mucus with a composition comprising a mucolytic compound containing a dithiol group to decrease mucus viscoelasticity through the reduction of mucin disulfide bonds.
