Sulfane sulfur, which is sulfur in the thiosulfoxide form (represented as S 0), has been found to have remarkable regulatory functions in biological systems. The following review briefly outlines the unveiling of these functions of sulfane sulfur, its unique nature, and its biogeneration.

Dec 28, 2019 · Sulfane sulfur is a divalent sulfur atom bonded to another sulfur which is very reactive and labile. Compounds containing this reactive sulfur include persulfides, polysulfides, thiosulfate, thiosulfinates, polythionates, and elemental sulfur.

Apr 1, 2024 · The total amount of sulfane sulfur present in various forms can be measured using various methods after treatment with a reducing agent and its conversion into free sulfide ions. When determining total sulfane sulfur, it is essential to distinguish it from acid-labile sulfur.

In this review, we summarize the development and design of organelle-targeted fluorescent sulfane sulfur probes, examine their organelle-targeting strategies and choices of fluorophores (e.g., ratiometric, near-infrared, etc.), and discuss their mechanisms and ability to detect endogenous and exogenous sulfane sulfur species.

Jan 1, 1987 · The term, “sulfane,” designates sulfur atoms that are bonded covalently in chains only to other sulfur atoms. Sulfane atoms are somewhat unstable, readily oxidizing in air, reducing with thiols, and decomposing slowly in dilute acid to release free sulfur.

Results suggested that sulfane sulfurs may act as signaling molecules in plant physiology. Probes in the SSP series can detect a wide range of sulfane sulfur species with high specificity and selectivity, are well-established for bioimaging in various models, and …

In this review, we discuss the methods reported to date for measuring sulfane sulfur and the results obtained using these methods. Keywords: Bound sulfur; Persulfide; Polysulfides; Reactive sulfur species; Sulfane sulfur.

Both reactive sulfur spe-cies (H2S and sulfane sulfur) always coexist in biological systems. This review is focused on new findings in the field of sulfane sulfur’s biological role, and disruption of its level in some patho/physiological conditions. A few sulfane sulfur donors with potential applications are pre-sented.
