designed as inhibitors of inducible nitricoxidesynthase (iNOS). Six compounds were found to be selective for iNOS over endothelial nitricoxidesynthase (eNOS), and among them, the most active and selective compound was the N-benzylacetamidine 2. A docking study was also performed to shed light on the effects of the structural modifications on the interaction of the designed inhibitors with the NOS
We report a coupling reaction of thioamides and sulfonyl azides to generate sulfonyl amidines in the absence of any activation additives. The reaction progresses in various solvents under mild conditions. Water exhibits the highest performance with respect to efficiency.
