We describe a set of benzisothiazolinone (BTZ) derivatives that are potent inhibitors of monoacylglycerol lipase (MGL), the primary degrading enzyme for the endocannabinoid 2-arachidonoyl-sn-glycerol (2-AG). Structure-activity relationship studies evaluated various substitutions on the nitrogen atom and the benzene ring of the BTZ nucleus. Optimized derivatives with nanomolar potency allowed us to investigate the mechanism of MGL inhibition. Site-directed mutagenesis and mass spectrometry experiments showed that BTZs interact in a covalent reversible manner with regulatory cysteines, Cys201 and Cys208, causing a reversible sulfenylation known to modulate MGL activity. Metadynamics simulations revealed that BTZ adducts favor a closed conformation of MGL that occludes substrate recruitment. The BTZ derivative 13 protected neuronal cells from oxidative stimuli and increased 2-AG levels in the mouse brain. The results identify Cys201 and Cys208 as key regulators of MGL function and point to the BTZ scaffold as a useful starting point for the discovery of allosteric MGL inhibitors.

1,2-Benzisothiazol-3(2H)-one (BIT) is one of the most common chemical biocides in industrial products, with a heterocyclic structure and a wide range of antimicrobial activity. A library of BIT derivatives was synthesized and characterized, from which 18 compounds were selected, tested for anti-bacterial activity relative to the parent molecule and amenable of coupling to plant polysaccharides in general and to galactomannans (GM) in particular, widely used as rheology modifiers, but with limited “biostability”. Four sites on the BIT core were targeted: the nitrogen and the oxygen atoms on the heterocyclic ring, the C5 and the C6 positions on the aromatic ring, where functional groups were introduced. The ultimate aim of this work is to establish whether by covalently linking a biocide to GM polymers, their “biostability” can be improved.

Synthesis of novel S-pixyls based on the thioxanthyl skeleton is described. Thioxanthone derivatives were prepared by a regioselective intramolecular Friedel-Crafts acylation reaction and converted into S-pixyl derivatives by Grignard synthesis. S-Pixyl carbocations stabilised by electron donating groups on the thioxanthyl backbone produced exceptional mass spectra under (MA)LDI conditions (laser desorption ionisation, both with and without matrix), and can be detected down to femtomol levels.
