synthesised. In two of these, the S-substituent was 'tied back' sterically by cyclisation to the nitrogen remote from the amino-acid unit. N(delta)-(4,5-Dihydrothiazol-2-yl)ornithine was identified as an inhibitor of rat inducible and constitutive isoforms of NOS and of a constitutive NOS derived from a human tumour xenograft. Analogous N(delta)-(thiazol-2-yl)ornithines were less active, whereas the corresponding
