A prodrug that has a prodrug moiety that degrades into a compound having the general Formula I with R3 being an alcoholic moiety can be useful in therapies for neurodegenerative diseases as well as cancer. Accordingly, the prodrug compounds can have a structure of Formula I, analogs thereof, derivatives thereof, or salts thereof, wherein: A and B are sulfur or oxygen; R1 and R2, in para, meta, or ortho position, are independently halogen, alkyl, alkoxy, haloalkyl, where R1 and R2 independently are straight chain, branched, substituted or unsubstituted; and R3 is a prodrug moiety. As examples, the prodrug can have a structure of any of Formulas I-V, which as shown in the specification. |
