Abstract:
1. A compound comprising a lipophilic cation linked by a linker group to a thionitrite moiety, wherein the compound has the structure of the general formula I and the lipophilic cation is capable of mitochondrially targeting the thionitrite moiety, wherein L is the linker group and X wherein x +y =30; and wherein each alkylene is optionally substituted with one or more functional groups independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, alkyl, cycloalkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, haloalkyl, aryl, aminoalkyl, hydroxyalkyl, alkoxyalkyl, alkylthio, alkylsulfinyl, alkylsulfonyl, carboxyalkyl, cyano, oxy, amino, alkylamino, aminocarbonyl, alkoxycarbonyl, aryloxycarbonyl, alkylaminocarbonyl, arylaminocarbonyl, aralkylaminocarbonyl, alkylcarbonylamino, arylcarbonylamino, aralkylcarbonylamino, alkylcarbonyl, heterocyclocarbonyl, aminosulfonyl, alkylaminosulfonyl, alkylsulfonyl, and heterocyclosulfonyl, or the substituent groups of adjacent carbon atoms in the linker group can be taken together with the carbon atoms to which they are attached to form a carbocycle or a heterocycle.
