The pharmacological effects of some AET derivatives are discussed and compared with those ofthe parent compound. APT behaves quantitatively and qualitatively like AET. 2-AT retains some of the characteristics of its parent compound. ABT bears no pharmacological relationship to the others.
The actions of AET, APT and some of the actions of 2-AT are attributed to the presence of a free sulfhydryl group.
ABT, which cannot form a free sulfhydryl, is relatively inactive pharmacologically and bearsno pharmacological relation to its parent compound, AET.
