Hydrogen sulfide (H<sub>2</sub>S) exerts a host of biological effects ranging from cytotoxicity to cytoprotection. Cytotoxicity of H<sub>2</sub>S in neurodegenerative diseases may be mediated by <i>N</i>-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) activation. To exploit cytoprotective effects of H<sub>2</sub>S while minimizing its toxicity, we synthesized a series of H<sub>2</sub>S-releasing NMDAR antagonists and examined their effects against 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium (MPP<sup>+</sup>)-induced cell d ...[more]
