title: In vitro inhibitors of prostaglandin synthesis: (p-thiosubstituted)-benzyl nitrogen heterocycles.
abstract: This paper reports the preparation of some (p-thiosubstituted)-benzyl (disulfides, thiols, and ethyl 2-mercaptopropionates) nitrogen heterocycles (1,2,3-triazole, imidazole, pyridine, tetrazole and 1,3,4-oxadiazole) and the evaluation of their inhibitory activity of in vitro prostaglandin synthesis. The mercaptopropionates, isosters of previously studied and very effective oxyderivatives, maintain high enzyme activity which is also present, although to a lower degree, in the corresponding disulfides.
