Fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase (FBPase), as a key rate-limiting enzyme in the gluconeogenesis (GNG) pathway, represents a practical therapeutic strategy for type 2 diabetes (T2D). Our previous work first identified cysteine residue 128 (C128) was an important allosteric site in the structure of FBPase, while pharmacologically targeting C128 attenuated the catalytic ability of FBPase. Herein, ten approved cysteine covalent drugs were selected for exploring FBPase inhibitory activities, and the alcohol deterrent disulfiram displayed superior inhibitory efficacy among those drugs. Based on the structure of lead compound disulfiram, 58 disulfide-derived compounds were designed and synthesized for investigating FBPase inhibitory activities. Optimal compound 3a exhibited significant FBPase inhibition and glucose-lowering efficacy in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, 3a covalently modified the C128 site, and then regulated the N125–S124–S123 allosteric pathway of FBPase in mechanism. In summary, 3a has the potential to be a novel FBPase inhibitor for T2D therapy.

Pyrolytic decomposition of bis-(N-diethyl carbamyl) disulphide has been found to afford diethylammonium diethylthiocarbamate, 1,1,3-triethyl urea, ethylene and elemental sulphur.The mechanism of the thermal decomposition is discussed.The synthesis of disulphide and diethylammonium diethylthiocarbamate has been described.
