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.

An α-ester disulfide is shown to be a useful precursor for the
preparation of several α-sulfone disulfides. These new α-sulfone
disulfides are all fungitoxic against Aspergillus niger
and Aspergillus flavus.
