Abstract

In this review, we discuss all sulfur-containing FDA-approved drugs and their structures. The second section of the review is dedicated to structural analysis and is divided into 14 subsections, each focusing on one type of sulfur-containing moiety. A concise graphical representation of each class features drugs that are organized on the basis of structural similarity, evolutionary relevance, and medical indication. This review offers a unique and comprehensive overview of the structural features of all sulfur-containing FDA-approved drugs to date.
