Synthesis and biological evaluation of 3-benzyl-1-methyl- and 1-methyl-3-phenyl-isothioureas as potential inhibitors of iNOS
Novel benzyl- and phenyl-isothioureidic derivatives have been synthesised and evaluated as inhibitors of nitric oxide synthesis, induced in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated J774.A1 macrophage cell line. The most potent iNOS inhibitor resulting was 1-methyl-3-phenyl-S-methyl isothiourea 5l.
