Controllable sulfane sulfur compounds-mediated inhibition of cell viability. HCC SNU398 cells were treated with esterase-triggered sulfane sulfur donor 1 (A), 3 (C), 5 (E), or 7 (G), their control compounds 2 (B), 4 (D), 6 (F), or 8 (H), as well as 9 (I), which does not generate sulfane sulfur. After 48 h, the cell viability was tested with CCK-8 assay. (J) Sulfane sulfur generated from the 1, 3, 5, and 7 was measured at 1 and 12 h with a fluorescence probe SSP4. Data are expressed as mean ± SD of four independent experiments. *P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01 vs. Control group.
