Immunomodulatory agents: Dioxothiadiazabicyclo[3.3.0]octanes and their 2- spiro derivatives

Article abstract of DOI:10.1248/cpb.42.1076

A series of 6,8-dioxo-3-thia-1,7-diazabicyclo[3.3.0]octanes and a series of 6,8-dioxo-3-thia-1,7-diazabicyclo[3.3.0]octane 2-spiro derivatives were synthesized from L-(-)-R-cysteine ethyl ester in two steps. The synthetic route involved condensation of the amino acid with an appropriate aldehyde or ketone, then a further condensation of the resultant ethyl thiazolidine-4- carboxylate with an isocyanate or an isothiocyanate. The proliferative response to human lymphocyte mitogen (phytohemagglutinin) was used as a primary screening assay for most of the thiadiazabicyclic compounds in comparison with levamisole. Furthermore, the most active compounds were tested for ability to release soluble receptors (sRIL-2) after mitogenic stimulation of T cells and for ability to activate macrophage oxidative metabolism measured by chemiluminescence. Most compounds were active in all three tests and some showed dose-dependent activity.
