  • Uncaging Carbon Disulfide. Delivery Platforms for Potential
    Chemical Science View Article Online EDGE ARTICLE View Journal | View Issue Uncaging carbon disulfide. Delivery platforms for potential pharmacological applications: Cite this: Chem. Sci.,2017,8,7186 a mechanistic approach† Anthony W. DeMartino, ‡ Maykon Lima Souza ‡ and Peter C. Ford * We describe the kinetics of the formation and decay of a series of dithiocarbamates under physiological conditions. The goal is to provide a toolbox of compounds that release CS2 by well-defined kinetics in such media. Carbon disulfide is a known environmental toxin, but there is fragmentary evidence suggesting that CS2 may have bioregulatory and/or therapeutic roles in mammalian biology. Further investigation of such roles will require methodologies for controlled delivery of this bioactive small molecule to specific targets. Reported here are mechanistic and computational studies of CS2 release from a series of dithiocarbamate anions (DTCs), where R2N represents several different secondary amido groups. The various DTCs under physiologically relevant conditions show a tremendous range of Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 3.0 Unported Licence. reactivities toward CS2 dissociation with decay lifetimes ranging from 2 s for imidazolidyldithiocarbamate (ImDTCÀ)to300 s for diisopropyldithiocarbamate (DIDTCÀ) to >24 h for pyrrolidinyldithiocarbamate (PDTCÀ) in pH 7.4 phosphate buffer solution at 37 C. Thus, by making the correct choice of these tools, one can adjust the flux of CS2 in a biological experiment, while the least reactive DTCs could serve as controls for evaluating the potential effects of the dithiocarbamate Received 19th June 2017 functionality itself.

  • Insights Into the Antimicrobial Potential of Dithiocarbamate Anions and Metal-Based Species

Abstract: Bacterial infection remains a worldwide problem that requires urgent addressing. Overuse and poor disposal of antibacterial agents abet the emergence of bacterial resistance mechanisms. There is a clear need for new approaches for the development of antibacterial therapeutics. Herein, the an- (−) tibacterial potential of molecules based on dithiocarbamate anions, of general formula R(R’)NCS2 , and metal salts of transition metals and main group elements, is summarized. Preclinical studies show a broad range of antibacterial potential, and these investigations are supported by appraisals of possible biological targets and mechanisms of action to guide chemical syntheses. This bibliographic review of the literature points to the exciting potential of dithiocarbamate-based therapeutics in the crucial battle against bacteria. Additionally, included in this overview, for the sake of completeness, is mention of the far fewer studies on the antifungal potential of dithiocarbamates and even less work conducted on antiparasitic behavior.

  • Dithiocarbamate Pesticides Share a Common Mechanism of Toxicity
    December 19, 2001 MEMORANDUM SUBJECT: The Determination of Whether Dithiocarbamate Pesticides Share a Common Mechanism of Toxicity FROM: Marcia E. Mulkey, Director /signed/ Office of Pesticide Programs (7501C) TO: Lois Rossi, Director Special Review and Reregistration Division (7508C) Pete Caulkins, Acting Director Registration Division (7505C) Anne Lindsay, Director Field and External Affairs Division (7506C) This memorandum summarizes the position of the Office of Pesticide Programs (OPP) with respect to the grouping of the dithiocarbamate pesticides based on a common mechanism of toxicity (final position document: The Determination of Whether Dithiocarbamate Pesticides Share a Common Mechanism of Toxicity, Attachment A). The results of this hazard assessment are intended to provide direction to the Special Review and Reregistration Division (SRRD) as it proceeds in conducting the reassessment of tolerences for these pesticides and to the Registration Division (RD) as it considers any tolerance actions involving these pesticides. This memorandum describes the information considered by scientists, the process followed in developing a position on support for grouping the dithiocarbamate pesticides, and the conclusions regarding this scientific issue. Background 1 The Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA) amended the laws under which EPA evaluates the safety of pesticide residues in food. Among other types of information EPA is to weigh when making safety decisions, the new amendments direct EPA to consider “available information concerning the cumulative effects of such residues and other substances that have a common mechanism of toxicity.” Sec. 408(b)(2)(D)(v) of the Federal Food Drug and Cosmetic Act. FQPA also directs EPA to apply the new safety standard to tolerances established prior to the passage of FQPA.
