Thiols are trapped, and converted to disulfide compounds, by a process of reacting them with compounds containing a 1,2,4-thiadiazole ring structure carrying a substituent at position 3 of the thiadiazole ring, and being unsubstituted at position N-2. The process is useful pharmacologically, in inhibiting certain thiol-containing enzymes such as H.sup.+ /K.sup.+ -ATPase (the proton pump), and industrially, in selective removal of thiol compounds from gas or liquid mixtures.
巯基化合物被一种反应过程所捕获并转化为二
硫化合物,该反应过程是通过与含有
1,2,4-噻二唑环结构的化合物反应,该化合物在
噻二唑环的3号位置携带取代基并且在N-2位置未被取代。该过程在药理学上有用,可以抑制某些含有巯基的酶,例如H.sup.+ /K.sup.+ -
ATPase(质子泵),在工业上有用,可以选择性地从气体或液体混合物中去除巯基化合物。
