title: Time-dependence and preliminary SAR studies in inhibition of nitric oxide synthase isoforms by homologues of thiocitrulline.
abstract: Treatment of N(alpha)-Cbz-N(epsilon)-(2-hydroxyethylaminothiocarbonyl)-L-lysine N-(2-hydroxyethyl)amide with boiling hydrochloric acid gave N(epsilon)-(4,5-dihydrothiazol-2-yl)-L-lysine. This was a weak and non-isoform selective inhibitor of NOS, whereas N(epsilon)-aminothiocarbonyl-L-lysine and its methyl ester were potent, with IC(50)=13 and 18 microM, respectively, against human iNOS and IC(50)=3 and 8 microM, respectively, against rat nNOS. Time dependence was observed for inhibition of nNOS by the ester.
