The benefits of macromolecular hydrogen sulfide prodrugs

Hydrogen sulfide has significant therapeutic potential that is continually being implicated in a variety of biochemical processes. This highlight article will present the benefits and opportunities in designing macromolecule based H₂S donors. Emphasis will be on how design of polymer systems can help drive the development of H₂S therapeutics. With a better range of donor systems this field will progress rapidly and new applications for H₂S therapeutics will be discovered.
