The lethal effect of sulfur mustard on L-cells was reduced by pretreating the cells with dithiothreitol (DTT), aminoethylisothiuronium bromide, mercaptoethylamine, and some alkyl derivatives of this compound. The disulfides of these agents were without protective activity. The protective mechanism by which DTT operated involved a simple inactivation of the sulfur mustard. This deduction was based on the finding that alkylation by mustard of cellular DNA, RNA, and protein was reduced by DTT treatment in parallel with the reduction in toxicity of the mustard. DTT at a tolerated dose of 100 mg/kg provided scant protection to mice against the nitrogen mustard HN2.

Reaction of daunomycinone (I) with alcohols and p-toluenesulfonic acid produces a mixture (~3 : 1) of its (7S)- and (7R)-O-alkyl derivatives II-IX. According to the 1H NMR evidence, the alicyclic ring exists in the 9H8 conformation in (7R)-O-alkyl derivatives, on the contrary to (7S)-epimers and 7-epi-daunomycinone that adopt the 8H9 conformation.

The formation of 3-oxo-3,4-dihydro-2H-1,4-benzothiazine (IIIa) by cyclization of alkyl 2-haloacetamidophenyl sulfides (I) was investigated; it is proposed that the reaction proceeds via a six-membered sulfonium halide. The preparation of 4-alkyl derivatives of IIIa and of 4-alkyl and 4-acyl derivatives of its reduction product 3,4-dihydro-2H-1,4-benzothiazine (Va) is described. Acylation of Va was shown to proceed without opening of the thiazine ring. Preparation of the O-benzoyl, N-benzoyl, and O,N-dibenzoyl derivatives of 2-(β-hydroxyethyl-mercapto)aniline (VIII) has permitted clarification of the confusion in the literature with respect to the derivatives of Va and VIII. Compound XVIII, the 1,1-dioxide of IIIa, undergoes C-alkylation at the 2-position when treated with alkyl halides, rather than O-alkylation as previously suggested.
