Synthesis and biological activity of diisothiocyanate-derived mercapturic acids
摘要:
This Letter deals with new non-natural diisothiocyanates, their mercapturic acid derivatives-conjugated with N-acetylcysteine as well as their antiproliferative activity towards human colon cancer cell lines and their inhibitory potency towards histone deacetylase activity. The activity of analysed isothio-cyanates is not significantly different than their N-acetylcysteine conjugates. In comparison to simple mono-isothiocyanate analogues, aliphatic diisothiocyanates and their conjugates are much more active than the simple presence of two isothiocyanate functionalities could indicate.
