We have previously reported that (4R,5R)-5-ethyl-2-imino-4-methylthiazolidine (3) strongly inhibits inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS). In a successive search for strong and selective iNOS inhibitors, we, herein, describe the synthesis of the selenium analogue of 3 (4: ES-2133) and its related optically active compounds and examine their in vitro and in vivo inhibitory activity against iNOS. In addition, an alternative synthetic method to the selected compound 4 and its pharmacokinetic profile is also reported. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
