The structure of the title compound, poly[[di-
-aqua-
4-[2,2'-dithiobis(ethanesulfonato)]-disodium(I)] monohydrate], {[Na2(C4H8O6S4)(H2O)2]·H2O}n, otherwise known as dimesna trihydrate, exhibits layers formed by the anions parallel to the ab face, connected by layers formed by the Na+ cations and coordinating water molecules.
Samples of dimesna, in microcrystalline form, were kindly provided by SIMS (SIMS srl, Reggello Firenze, Italy). Crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction were obtained by slow evaporation from water-methanol solutions of (I).
The structure is pseudo centrosymmetric, but its intrinsically noncentrosymmetric nature is proved by the absence of symmetry for the symmetry–independent anion in the final model. It was refined as a racemic twin (thanks are expressed to a reviewer for pointing out this possibility), with 0.52 (2) main component. Aliphatic H atoms were in geometrically generated positions, riding. Assigned values of bond distances: secondary CH2 0.99 Å. The positional parameters of water H atoms were refined, with a common soft restraint on O—H distances (0.76 (2) Å final value). The restraints U(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) and U(H) = 1.5Ueq(O) on thermal parameters were applied.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > 2sigma(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R– factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

Dimesna, the disulfide readily formed from mesna (Bambagiotti-Alberti et al., 2007) by oxidation (Li et al., 2003), has been shown to protect against cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity, due to its conversion in the kidneys into the monomeric mesna which, contrary to dimesna, is effective in inactivating urotoxic metabolites from cisplatin chemotherapy (Verschraagen et al., 2004). On the other hand, direct use of mesna as an aid, instead of dimesna, is discouraged by owing to interference with chemotherapy.
Crystals of dimesna were obtained in the form of the trihydrate (I); the contents of the asymmetric unit are shown in Fig. 1. Corresponding bond distances in the two chemically equivalent parts of the anion are in substantial agreement, as they are with values previously found for mesna. The value of the S—S distance, 2.0338 (10) Å, agrees with values recently reported for this bond in similar environments [2.032 (1) Å (Ren & Zhao, 2006); 2.045 (1) Å (Bolte & Sakhaii, 2004)]. The S3 and S4 atoms are in antiperiplanar positions with respect to the connecting ethyl chain, whereas the S1 and S2 atoms in the other part of the anion are in an a-synclinal arrangement. In the crystal structure, the anionic portions of dimesna are arranged in layers parallel to the ab-face, with interposed layers formed by the cations and two of the water molecules (Fig. 2). The third water molecule (O7) occupies channels parallel to a in the anionic layer, forming chains of hydrogen-bonded water molecules which, in addition, are similarly linked to O atoms of sulfonate residues. The closest approach between S atoms of different anions in a layer is 3.845 (1) Å. Both Na+ cations are six-coordinated by O atoms, four of these, in both coordination spheres, belonging to different anions, whereas two are common and are provided by the O8 and O9 water molecules. The latter water O atoms, as well as the sulfonate O1 and O5 atoms, bridge between symmetry-related cations, forming chains along a, whereas the O2 and O4 (also coordinating) sulfonate O atoms provide bridges between the chains. The sulfonate O3 and O6 sulfonate atoms, are not engaged in coordination to Na, but accept hydrogen bonds from water molecules.
