Traditionally, the activity of most polysulfanes has been associated with the redox behaviour of the sulfur-sulfur bond. Here we show that polysulfanes, such as diallyltri- and tetrasulfide, also interact with cellular membranes and certain metalloproteins. Together, multiple interactions with various biological targets may explain best the biological activity of such compounds.
