Abstract
Disclosed are novel sulfenate esters and thiosulfinate esters that induce the expression of metabolic enzymes, particularly Phase II enzymes such as glutathione-s-transferase, DT-diaphorase and Ferritin H when administered to a subject. Also disclosed, such compounds are effective to displace a zinc ion from retroviral zinc finger nucleocapsid proteins effective to inhibit HIV replication. The present invention is further directed to novel methods of making these compounds, and any compounds produced by the process of making these novel compounds.
