Bis(dialkylaminethiocarbonyl)disulfides as Potent and Selective Monoglyceride Lipase Inhibitors
摘要:
Monoglyceride lipase (MGL) inhibition may offer an approach in treating diseases in which higher 2-arachidonoyglycerol activity would be beneficial. We report here the synthesis and pharmacological evaluation of bis(dialkylaminethiocarbonyl)disulfide derivatives as irreversible MGL inhibitors. Inhibition occurs through interactions with MGL C208 and C242 residues, and these derivatives exhibit high inhibition selectivity over fatty acid amide hydrolase, another endocannabinoid-hydrolyzing enzyme.

An easily accessible neutral ionic liquid, 1-methyl-3-pentylimidazolium bromide, promoted a one-pot three-component condensation of an amine, carbon disulfide, and an activated alkene/dichloromethane/epoxide to produce the corresponding dithiocarbamates in high yields at room temperature. The reactions are very fast in ionic liquids relative to those in other reaction media. These reactions do not
