Syntheses and evaluation of pyrrolidin-2-imines and 1,3-thiazolidin-2- imines as inhibitors of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) are discussed. An extensive SAR was established for pyrrolidin-2-imines class of compounds. The amidines came out as the most potent inhibitors in addition to displaying selectivity.
Preparation of lactams from aliphatic α, ω-dinitriles

, (2008/06/13)
A process for the preparation of five-membered or six-membered ring lactams from aliphatic α,ω-dinitriles has been developed. In the process an aliphatic α,ω-dinitrile is first converted to an ammonium salt of an ω-nitrile-carboxylic acid in aqueous solution using a catalyst having an aliphatic nitrilase (EC 3.5.5.7) activity, or a combination of nitrile hydratase (EC 4.2.1.84) and arnidase (EC 3.5.1.4) activities. The ammonium salt of the ω-nitrilecarboxylic acid is then converted directly to the corresponding lactam by hydrogenation in aqueous solution, without isolation of the intermediate ω-nitrilecarboxylic acid or ω-aminocarboxylic acid. When the aliphatic α,ω-dinitrile is also unsymmetrically substituted at the α-carbon atom, the nitrilase produces the ω-nitrilecarboxylic acid ammonium salt resulting from hydrolysis of the ω-nitrile group with greater than 98% regioselectivity, thereby producing only one of the two possible lactam products during the subsequent hydrogenation. A heat-treatment process to select for desirable regioselective nitrilase or nitrile hydratase activities while destroying undesirable activities is also provided.

Five- and six-membered ring lactams have been prepared by first converting an aliphatic α,ω-dinitrile to an ω-cyanocarboxylic acid ammonium salt, using a microbial cell catalyst having an aliphatic nitrilase activity (Acidovorax facilis 72W, ATCC 55746) or a combination of nitrile hydratase and amidase activities (Comamonas testosteroni 5-MGAM-4D, ATCC 55744). The ω-cyanocarboxylic acid ammonium salt was then directly converted to the corresponding lactam by hydrogenation in aqueous solution, without isolation of the intermediate ω-cyanocarboxylic acid or ω-aminocarboxylic acid. Only one of two possible lactam products was produced from α-alkyl-substituted α,ω-dinitriles, where the nitrilase of A. facilis 72W regioselectively hydrolyzed only the ω-cyano group to produce a single cyanocarboxylic acid ammonium salt in greater than 98% yield.
