The mutagenicity of thiol (SH)-containing compounds was tested in Salmonella typhimurium TA102 in the liquid preincubation method. Cysteinyl-glycine (CG), cysteine ethyl ester (CEE), L- and D-penicillamine (PA), cysteine (Cys) and glutathione (GSH) were mutagenic to strain TA102 without metabolic activation.

The novel aza-analogues of tiazofurin (TZF) with 2-[5,5-bis(hydroxymethyl)pyrrolidin-2-yl] moiety, as sugar mimic, were synthesized from O,O-cyclohexylidene derivative of 4,4-bis(hydroxymethyl)-4-nitrobutanal in multi-gram scale. The synthetic route consisted of three stages: (i) the synthesis of corresponding derivative of 5,5-bis(hydroxymethyl)pyrrolidine-2-carbonitrile, (ii) the construction
