Hydrogen Sulfide Donor Effect

Molecular classification
Other
01

Overview

Hydrogen sulfide donor effect refers broadly to the biological outcomes resulting from controlled exogenous administration/release of hydrogen sulfide using chemical donor molecules—a rapidly expanding area with significant translational promise across multiple medical fields.

Other names
H2S donorHydrogen sulfide releasing compounds
02

Mechanism of action

H2S donors release hydrogen sulfide (H2S), which modulates various signaling pathways, including ion channel regulation, protein persulfidation, Nrf2 activation, PI3K/Akt/MAPK/Wnt/NF-κB pathway modulation, soluble guanylyl cyclase (sGC) interaction, and K⁺ channel opening.
