- Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of Dithiobisacetamides as Novel Urease Inhibitors
-
Thirty-eight disulfides containing N-arylacetamide were designed and synthesized in an effort to develop novel urease inhibitors. Biological evaluation revealed that some of the synthetic compounds exhibited strong inhibitory potency against both cell-free urease and urease in intact cell with low cytotoxicity to mammalian cells even at concentration up to 250 μM. Of note, 2,2′-dithiobis(N-(2-fluorophenyl)acetamide) (d7), 2,2′-dithiobis(N-(3,5-difluorophenyl)acetamide) (d24), and 2,2′-dithiobis(N-(3-fluorophenyl)acetamide) (d8) were here identified as the most active inhibitors with IC50 of 0.074, 0.44, and 0.81 μM, showing 32- to 355-fold higher potency than the positive control acetohydroxamic acid. These disulfides were confirmed to bind urease without covalent modification of the cysteine residue and to inhibit urease reversibly with a mixed inhibition mechanism. They also showed very good anti-Helicobacter pylori activities with d8 showing a comparable potency to the clinical used drug amoxicillin. The impressive in vitro biological profile indicated their immense potential as therapeutic agents to tackle H. pylori caused infections.

- Facile synthesis and antifungal activity of dithiocarbamate derivatives bearing an amide moiety
-
Two series of novel dithiocarbamate derivatives bearing an amide moiety, 3a-i and 4a-i, were synthesized by a facile method, and the structures of the derivatives were confirmed by elemental analysis and 1H-NMR, 13C- -NMR and high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS). Their antifungal activity against five phytopathogenic fungi were evaluated, and the results showed that most of the target compounds displayed low antifungal activity in vitro against Gibberella zeae, Cytospora sp., Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, Alternaria solani, and Fusarium solani at a concentration of 100 mg L-1. However, two compounds, 4f and 4g, exhibited significant activity against A. solani and C. gloeosporioides, respectively.
