Abstract
A novel and practical method for the preparation of difunctionalized quinolines, bearing a thiocarbamate group at the C3-position and an acyloxyl group at the C4-position, and quinolinonyl thiocarbamates from quinolinones, tetraalkylthiuram disulfides, and hypervalent iodine(III) reagents has been developed via thiocarbamation of quinolinones at room temperature. The present method features mild reaction conditions, good tolerance with diverse functional groups, and a wide substrate scope, providing the desired products in good yields. Furthermore, this transformation is easy to scale up, and the desired products can be readily converted to heterocyclic thiols. Most importantly, this protocol allows for the late-stage thiocarbamation of bioactive compounds. Mechanistic studies show that radicals may be involved in this transformation, water is probably the oxygen source of thiocarbamates, and difunctionalized quinolines are possibly formed via nucleophilic attack of carboxylic anions, which derive from hypervalent iodine(III) reagents.

Abstract
The diverse synthesis of heterocyclic compounds has always been one of the popular subjects of organic chemistry. To this end, great efforts have been devoted to developing new reagents and establishing new strategies and methods concerning efficiency, selectivity and sustainability. β-Oxodithioesters and their enol tautomers (i.e., α-enolic dithioesters), as a class of simple and readily accessible sulfur-containing synthons, have been widely applied in the construction of various five- and six-membered heterocycles (e.g., thiophenes, thiopyrans, thiazoles, pyridines and quinolines) and other useful open-chain frameworks. Due to their unique chemical structures, β-oxodithioesters bear multiple reaction sites, which enable them to participate in two-component or multicomponent reactions to construct various heterocyclic compounds. In the past decade, the application of β-oxodithioesters in the synthesis of heterocycles has made remarkable progress. Herein, an update on the recent advances in the application of β-oxodithioesters in the synthesis of heterocycles during the period from 2013 to 2023/06 is provided. According to the different types of rings concerning heteroatoms in products, this review is divided into five sections under discussion including (i) synthesis of sulfur-containing heterocycles, (ii) synthesis of sulfur and nitrogen-containing heterocycles, (iii) synthesis of nitrogen-containing heterocycles, (iv) synthesis of nitrogen and oxygen-containing heterocycles, and (v) modification to other open-chain frameworks.

Abstract
Air and moisture stable diaryl dithiocarbamate salts, Ar2NCS2Li, result from addition of CS2 to Ar2NLi, the latter being formed upon deprotonation of diarylamines by nBuLi. Oxidation with K3[Fe(CN)6] affords the analogous thiuram disulfides, (Ar2NCS2)2, two examples of which (Ar = p-C6H4X; X = Me, OMe) have been crystallographically characterised. The interconversion of dithiocarbamate and thiuram disulfides has also been probed electrochemically and compared with that established for the widely-utilised diethyl system. While oxidation reactions are generally clean and high yielding, for Ph(2-naphthyl)NCS2Li an ortho-cyclisation product, 3-phenylnaphtho[2,1-d]thiazole-2(3H)-thione, is also formed, resulting from a competitive intramolecular free-radical cyclisation. To demonstrate the coordinating ability of diaryl dithiocarbamates, a small series of Co(III) complexes have been prepared, with two examples, [Co{S2CN(p-tolyl)2}3] and [Co{S2CNPh(m-tolyl)}3] being crystallographically characterised. Solvothermal decomposition of [Co{S2CN(p-tolyl)2}3] in oleylamine generates phase pure CoS2 nanospheres in an unexpected phase-selective manner.

Discovery of Triple Inhibitors of Both SARS-CoV-2 Proteases and Human Cathepsin L. Pharmaceuticals (Basel) 2022; 15:ph15060744.

Abstract
One inhibitor of the main SARS-CoV-2 protease has been approved recently by the FDA, yet it targets only SARS-CoV-2 main protease (Mpro). Here, we discovered inhibitors containing thiuram disulfide or dithiobis-(thioformate) tested against three key proteases involved in SARS-CoV-2 replication, including Mpro, SARS-CoV-2 papain-like protease (PLpro), and human cathepsin L. The use of thiuram disulfide and dithiobis-(thioformate) covalent inhibitor warheads was inspired by an idea to find a better alternative than disulfiram, an approved treatment for chronic alcoholism that is currently in phase 2 clinical trials against SARS-CoV-2. Our goal was to find more potent inhibitors that target both viral proteases and one essential human protease to reduce the dosage, improve the efficacy, and minimize the adverse effects associated with these agents. We found that compounds coded as RI175, RI173, and RI172 were the most potent inhibitors in an enzymatic assay against SARS-CoV-2 Mpro, SARS-CoV-2 PLpro, and human cathepsin L, with IC50s of 300, 200, and 200 nM, which is about 5-, 19-, and 11-fold more potent than disulfiram, respectively. In addition, RI173 was tested against SARS-CoV-2 in a cell-based and toxicity assay and was shown to have a greater antiviral effect than disulfiram. The identified compounds demonstrated the promising potential of thiuram disulfide or dithiobis-(thioformate) as a reactive functional group in small molecules that could be further developed for treatment of the COVID-19 virus or related variants.

Abstract
Monoacylglycerol is a metabolic key serine hydrolase, engaged in the regulation of signalling network system of endocannabinoids, which is associated with various physiological processes like pain, inflammation, feeding cognition and neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer, Parkinson's disease. The monoacylglycerol also found to act as a regulator and the free fatty acid provider in the proliferation of cancer cells, numerous aggressive tumours such as colorectal cancer, neuroblastoma and nasopharyngeal carcinoma. It also played an important role in increasing the concentration of specific lipids derived from free fatty acids like phosphatidic acid, lysophosphatidic acid, sphingosine-1-phosphate and prostaglandin E2. These signalling lipids are associated with cell proliferation, survival, tumour cell migration, contributing to tumour development, maturation and metastases. In the present study here, we are presenting a review on structurally diverse MAGL inhibitors, their development and their evaluation for different pharmacological activities.

Abstract
The worldwide prevalence of NDM-1-producing Gram-negative pathogens has drastically undermined the clinical efficacy of carbapenems, prompting a need to devise an effective strategy to preserve their clinical value. Here we constructed a focused compound library of dithiocarbamates and systematically evaluated their potential synergistic antibacterial activities combined with copper. SA09-Cu exhibited excellent inhibition against a series of clinical NDM-1-producing carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) in restoring meropenem effect, and slowed down the development of carbapenem resistance. Enzymatic kinetic and isothermal titration calorimetry studies demonstrated that SA09-Cu was a noncompetitive NDM-1 inhibitor. The electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) revealed a novel inhibition mechanism, which is that SA09-Cu could convert NDM-1 into an inactive state by oxidizing the Zn(II)-thiolate site of the enzyme. Importantly, SA09-Cu showed a unique redox tuning ability, and avoided to be reduced by intracellular thiols of bacteria. In vivo experiments indicated that SA09 combined with CuGlu could effectively potentiate MER's effect against NDM-1-producing E. coli (EC23) in the murine infection model. This study provides a highly promising scaffold in developing novel inhibitors to combat NDM-1-producing CREs.

Abstract
Monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL), a serine hydrolase, converts endocannabinoid 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) to arachidonic acid (AA) and glycerol in the brain and plays a bidirectional role in controlling nueroinflammation. MAGL, involved in Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, is a promising target for treatment of neurodegenerative disorders. However, the irreversible inhibitors of MAGL lead to the desensitization of CB1 receptors further impairing the benefits associated with the indirect CB1 stimulation. Therefore, development of potent reversible inhibitors from natural products (NPs) and traditional chinese medicines (TCMs) are safer and free from adverse side effects and feasible to avoid drawbacks which irreversible inhibitors cause. Here, we employed pharmacophore-based screening of drug candidates coupled with molecular docking, biochemical assay and Ligplot analyses to identify and characterize inhibitors targeting human MAGL (hMAGL). The built pharmacophore model, Phar-MAGL successfully identified inhibitors NP-2 (IC50 = 9.5 ± 1.2 μM), NP-5 (IC50 = 14.5 ± 1.3 μM), and NP-3 (IC50 = 15.2 ± 1.4 μM), which apparently attenuated the activities of hMAGL in vitro. The evident activities of the identified inhibitors against hMAGL showed that the pharmacophore model, Phar-MAGL is reliable and efficient in screening inhibitors against hMAGL. Our study successfully identified a natrual product inhibitor, NP-2 (8-PN), from the plant Humulus lupulus L. (hops) and its positive effects in neurogenesis and neurodifferentiation along with the evident inhibitory potency against hMAGL revealed the potential for further optimizing and developing into drugs to treat neuroinflammation, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases.

Abstract
Monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL) is a key enzyme in the human endocannabinoid system. It is also the main enzyme responsible for the conversion of 2-arachidonoyl glycerol (2-AG) to arachidonic acid (AA), a precursor of prostaglandin synthesis. The inhibition of MAGL activity would be beneficial for the treatment of a wide range of diseases, such as inflammation, neurodegeneration, metabolic disorders and cancer. Here, the author reports the pharmacological evaluation of new disulfiram derivatives as potent inhibitors of MAGL. These analogues displayed high inhibition selectivity over fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH), another endocannabinoid-hydrolyzing enzyme. In particular, compound 2i inhibited MAGL in the low micromolar range. However, it did not show any inhibitory activity against FAAH.

Abstract
The selectivity of a chemical reaction is related to the effective utilization of raw materials as well as the cleanliness and economy of the process. Herein, it has been first proposed to synthesize tetraethyl thiuram disulfide (TETD) with sodium bicarbonate as the pH regulator with a reaction selectivity of ∼100%. The existence of a reaction intermediate, a sodium salt of diethyl dithiocarbamoylsulfenic acid (NaEt2DTCS), has been proved by experiments and theoretical calculations. The results indicate that TETD can not only be generated from NaEt2DTCS oxidized by H2O2 directly, but also from the conjugation of NaEt2DTC and NaEt2DTCS generated in the first stage of oxidation meanwhile. Accordingly, an oxidation reaction pathway has been proposed. The reaction selectivity with NaHCO3 or CO2 as the pH regulator has been compared, and the selectivity control mechanism is discussed. At relatively higher pH values with NaHCO3 as the pH regulator, peroxidation could be almost avoided.

Abstract
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.

Abstract
Monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL) is a serine hydrolase that plays a crucial role catalysing the hydrolysis of monoglycerides into glycerol and fatty acids. It links the endocannabinoid and eicosanoid systems together by degradation of the abundant endocannabinoid 2-arachidaoylglycerol into arachidonic acid, the precursor of prostaglandins and other inflammatory mediators. MAGL inhibitors have been considered as important agents in many therapeutic fields, including anti-nociceptive, anxiolytic, anti-inflammatory, and even anti-cancer. Currently, ABX-1431, a first-in-class inhibitor of MAGL, is entering clinical phase 2 studies for neurological disorders and other diseases. This review summarizes the diverse (patho)physiological roles of MAGL and will provide an overview on the development of MAGL inhibitors. Although a large number of MAGL inhibitors have been reported, novel inhibitors are still required, particularly reversible ones.

Bioorg Med Chem Lett 2020; 30:126998. [PMID: 32014383 DOI: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2020.126998] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/28/2019] [Revised: 01/15/2020] [Accepted: 01/24/2020] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
[Thiocarbonyl-11C]disulfiram ([11C]DSF) was synthesized via iodine oxidation of [11C]diethylcarbamodithioic acid ([11C]DETC), which was prepared from [11C]carbon disulfide and diethylamine. The decay-corrected isolated radiochemical yield (RCY) of [11C]DSF was greatly affected by the addition of unlabeled carbon disulfide. In the presence of carbon disulfide, the RCY was increased up to 22% with low molar activity (Am, 0.27 GBq/μmol). On the other hand, [11C]DSF was obtained in 0.4% RCY with a high Am value (95 GBq/μmol) in the absence of carbon disulfide. The radiochemical purity of [11C]DSF was always >98%. The first PET study on [11C]DSF was performed in mice. A high uptake of radioactivity was observed in the liver, kidneys, and gallbladder. The uptake level and distribution pattern in mice were not significantly affected by the Am value of the [11C]DSF sample used. In vivo metabolite analysis showed the rapid decomposition of [11C]DSF in mouse plasma.

Abstract
Irradiation at 460 nm of [Mo3(μ3-S)(μ2-S2)3(S2CNR2)3]I ([2a]I, R = Me; [2b]I, R = Et; [2c]I, R = iBu; [2d]I, R = CH2C6H5) in a mixed aqueous-polar organic medium with [Ru(bipy)3]2+ as photosensitizer and Et3N as electron donor leads to H2 evolution. Maximum activity (300 turnovers, 3 h) is found with R = iBu in 1:9 H2O:MeCN; diminished activity is attributed to deterioration of [Ru(bipy)3]2+. Monitoring of the photolysis mixture by mass spectrometry suggests transformation of [Mo3(μ3-S)(μ2-S2)3(S2CNR2)3]+ to [Mo3(μ3-S)(μ2-S)3(S2CNR2)3]+ via extrusion of sulfur on a time scale of minutes without accumulation of the intermediate [Mo3S6(S2CNR2)3]+ or [Mo3S5(S2CNR2)3]+ species. Deliberate preparation of [Mo3S4(S2CNEt2)3]+ ([3]+) and treatment with Et2NCS21- yields [Mo3S4(S2CNEt2)4] (4), where the fourth dithiocarbamate ligand bridges one edge of the Mo3 triangle. Photolysis of 4 leads to H2 evolution but at ∼25% the level observed for [Mo3S7(S2CNEt2)3]+. Early time monitoring of the photolyses shows that [Mo3S4(S2CNEt2)4] evolves H2 immediately and at constant rate, while [Mo3S7(S2CNEt2)3]+ shows a distinctive incubation prior to a more rapid H2 evolution rate. This observation implies the operation of catalysts of different identity in the two cases. Photolysis solutions of [Mo3S7(S2CNiBu2)3]+ left undisturbed over 24 h deposit the asymmetric Mo6 cluster [(iBu2NCS2)3(μ2-S2)2(μ3-S)Mo3](μ3-S)(μ3-η2,η1-S',η1-S″-S2)[Mo3(μ2-S)3(μ3-S)(S2CNiBu2)2(μ2-S2CNiBu2)] in crystalline form, suggesting that species with this hexametallic composition and core topology are the probable H2-evolving catalysts in photolyses beginning with [Mo3S7(S2CNR2)3]+. When used as solvent, N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) suppresses H2-evolution but to a greater degree for [Mo3S4(S2CNEt2)4] than for [Mo3S7(S2CNEt2)3]+. Recrystallization of [Mo3S4(S2CNEt2)4] from DMF affords [Mo3S4(S2CNEt2)4(η1,κO-DMF)] (5), implying that inhibition by DMF arises from competition for a Mo coordination site that is requisite for H2 evolution. Computational assessment of [Mo3S4(S2CNMe2)3]+ following addition of 2H+ and 2e- suggests a Mo(H)-μ2(SH) intermediate as the lowest energy species for H2 elimination. An analogous pathway may be available to the Mo6 cluster via dissociation of one end of the μ2-S2CNR2 ligand, a known hemilabile ligand type, in the [Mo3S4]4+ fragment.

Abstract
Due to rising costs and the difficulty to identify new targets, drug repurposing appears as a viable strategy for the development of new anti-cancer treatments. Although the interest of disulfiram (DSF), an anti-alcohol drug, to treat cancer was reported for many years, it is only very recently that one anticancer mechanism-of-action was highlighted. This would involve the inhibition of the p97 segregase adaptor NPL4, which is essential for the turnover of proteins involved in multiple regulatory and stress-response intracellular pathways. However, recently DSF was also reported as one of the first phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase (PHGDH) inhibitors, a tetrameric enzyme catalyzing the initial step of the serine synthetic pathway that is highly expressed in numerous cancer types. Here, we investigated the structure-activity relationships (SAR) of PHGDH inhibition by disulfiram analogues as well as the mechanism of action of DSF on PHGDH via enzymatic and cell-based evaluation, mass spectrometric and mutagenesis experiments.

Abstract
Monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL) has been characterized as the main enzyme responsible for the inactivation of the most abundant brain endocannabinoid, 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG). Besides this role, MAGL has progressively acquired a growing importance as an integrative metabolic hub that controls not only the in vivo levels of 2-AG but also of other monoacylglycerides and, indirectly, the levels of free fatty acids derived from their hydrolysis as well as other lipids with pro-inflammatory or pro-tumorigenic effects, coming from the further metabolism of fatty acids. All these functions have only started to be elucidated in the last years due to the progress made in the knowledge of the structure of MAGL and in the development of genetic and chemical tools. In this review we report the advances made in the field with a special focus on the last decade and how MAGL has become a promising therapeutic target for the treatment of several diseases that currently lack appropriate therapies.

Abstract
Tetra-kis(2-methyl-prop-yl)thio-per-oxy-dicarbonic di-amide, or tetra-iso-butyl-thiuram di-sulfide, C18H36N2S4, crystallizes in a general position in the triclinic space group P-1 but shows pseudo-C2 symmetry about the di-sulfide bond. The C-S-S-C torsion angle [-85.81 (2)°] and the dihedral angle between the two NCS2 mean planes [85.91 (5)°] are within the range observed for this compound type. Multiple intra- and inter-molecular S⋯H-C close contacts appear to play a role in assisting the specific conformation of the pendant isobutyl groups and the packing arrangement of mol-ecules within the cell. Tetra-iso-butyl-thiuram di-sulfide mol-ecules of one optical configuration form sheets in the plane of the a and b axes. Inversion centers exist between adjoining sheets, which stack along the c axis and alternate in the handedness of their constituent mol-ecules.

Abstract
The mechanism of the recently reported photocontrolled cationic polymerization of vinyl ethers was investigated using a variety of catalysts and chain-transfer agents (CTAs) as well as diverse spectroscopic and electrochemical analytical techniques. Our study revealed a complex activation step characterized by one-electron oxidation of the CTA. This oxidation is followed by mesolytic cleavage of the resulting radical cation species, which leads to the generation of a reactive cation-this species initiates the polymerization of the vinyl ether monomer-and a dithiocarbamate radical that is likely in equilibrium with the corresponding thiuram disulfide dimer. Reversible addition-fragmentation type degenerative chain transfer contributes to the narrow dispersities and control over chain growth observed under these conditions. Finally, the deactivation step is contingent upon the oxidation of the reduced photocatalyst by the dithiocarbamate radical concomitant with the production of a dithiocarbamate anion that caps the polymer chain end. The fine-tuning of the electronic properties and redox potentials of the photocatalyst in both the excited and the ground states is necessary to obtain a photocontrolled system rather than simply a photoinitiated system. The elucidation of the elementary steps of this process will aid the design of new catalytic systems and their real-world applications.

Abstract
Trichomoniasis is the most prevalent, non-viral sexually transmitted diseases (STD) caused by amitochondriate protozoan Trichomonas vaginalis. Increased resistance of T. vaginalis to the marketed drug Metronidazole necessitates the development of newer chemical entities. A library of sixty 2-methyl-4/5-nitroimidazole derivatives was synthesized via nucleophilic ring opening reaction of epoxide and the efficacies against drug-susceptible and -resistant Trichomonas vaginalis were evaluated. All the molecules except two were found to be active against both susceptible and resistant strains with MICs ranging 8.55-336.70 μM and 28.80-1445.08 μM, respectively. Most of the compounds were remarkably more effective than the standard Metronidazole. This study analyzes the in vitro and in vivo activities of the new 5-nitroimidazoles, which were found to be safe against human cervical HeLa cells with good selectivity index. The exploration of SAR by the synthesis of four different prototypes and 3D-QSAR study has shown the importance of prototype 1 over other prototypes.

Abstract
Monoglyceride lipase (MGL), the main enzyme responsible for the hydrolytic deactivation of the endocannabinoid 2-arachidonoyl-sn-glycerol (2-AG), is an intracellular serine hydrolase that plays critical roles in many physiological and pathological processes, such as pain, inflammation, neuroprotection and cancer. The crystal structures of MGL that are currently available provide valuable information about how this enzyme might function and interact with site-directed small-molecule inhibitors. On the other hand, its conformational equilibria and the contribution of regulatory cysteine residues present within the substrate-binding pocket or on protein surface remain open issues. Several classes of MGL inhibitors have been developed, from early reversible ones, such as URB602 and pristimerin, to carbamoylating agents that react with the catalytic serine, such as JZL184 and more recent O-hexafluoroisopropyl carbamates. Other inhibitors that modulate MGL activity by interacting with conserved regulatory cysteines act through mechanisms that deserve to be more thoroughly investigated.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Thiocarbamates are chemicals widely used as pesticides. Occupational exposure is associated with acute intoxication. Populations can be exposed through food and water. Moreover, certain thiocarbamates are used clinically. The widespread use of thiocarbamates raises many issues regarding their toxicological and pharmacological impact. AREAS COVERED Thiocarbamates and their metabolites can modify biological macromolecules functions, in particular enzymes, through modification of cysteine residues, chelation of metal ions or modulation of the oxidative stress. Loss of enzyme activity can lead to the disruption of metabolic pathways, and explain, at least in part, the effects of these pesticides. Additionally, their reactivity and ability to easily cross biological barrier confer them a great interest for development of clinical applications. EXPERT OPINION Many advances in the study of thiocarbamates metabolism and reactivity have led to a better knowledge of biological effects of these compounds. However, more data are needed on the determination of targets and specificity. Only few data concerning the exposure to a cocktail of pesticides/chemicals are available, raising the need to evaluate the toxic side effects of representative pesticides mixtures. Moreover, the dithiocarbamate Disulfiram has shown great potential in therapeutic applications and leads to the development of pharmacological thiocarbamates derivatives, highly specific to their target and easily distributed.

Abstract
The determination of transition metal containing dithiocarbamate fungicides represents a challenging aspect of analytical object. They have a low stability, low solubility and stabilize versatile coordination monomers, dimers, disulfides and/or S-oxidized derivatives. Their diverse biological activities and agricultural implementation encompass plant prevention and crop protection against a variety of plants containing fungi and diseases of 400 pathogens and 70 cultures. Nonetheless, those dithiocarbamates (DTCs) are banned for agricultural use in Europe or have expiration at years 2016-2017 because of their highly toxic degradation products and/or metabolites, in particular ethylene thiourea; they found large-scale implementations in materials research and medicine. Despite the broad interdisciplinary of DTC application, due to the above reasons, they have received little attention in the rapidly growing field of analytical chemistry, and in particular, the analytical mass spectrometry. Therefore, the study reported on qualitative, quantitative and structural analysis of ten DTCs (1-10), using the matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization (UV-MALDI)-Orbitrap-mass spectrometry (MS) contributed considerably to the implementation of the method for environmental and foodstuffs monitoring. Its ultrahigh resolving power and capacity for direct solid-state analysis, at limited number of sample pretreatment steps, at concentration levels of analytes of up to femtogram per gram resulted to achievement of a highly precise analytical information for these non-trivial objects. The presented fully validated method and technique is based on the successful ionization of DTCs embedded in three novel organic salts (M1-M3). In this regard, the reported MS and the single-crystal X-ray diffraction data as well as the quantum chemical one are able to correlate the molecular structures in condense and in the gas phase. Despite the novelty of the fundamental methodological character of the research reported, the promising metrology contributed to the applied aspect of the UV-MALDI-MS as a robust analytical method for environmental and foodstuffs monitoring, which is tested on two commercially available crop protecting products such as Mancozeb® and Antracol®, respectively.

Abstract
α/β-Hydrolase domain-containing 6 (ABHD6) represents a potentially attractive therapeutic target for indirectly potentiating 2-arachidonoylglycerol signaling; however, the enzyme is currently largely uncharacterized. Here, we describe a five element, ligand-based pharmacophore model along with a refined homology model of ABHD6. Following a virtual screen of a modest database, both the pharmacophore and homology models were found to be highly predictive, preferentially identifying ABHD6 inhibitors over drug-like non-inhibitors. The models yield insight into the features required for optimal ligand binding to ABHD6 and the atomic structure of the binding site. In combination, the two models should be very helpful not only in high-throughput virtual screening, but also in lead optimization, and will facilitate the development of novel, selective ABHD6 inhibitors as potential drugs.

Abstract
A series of (1H-benzo[d][1,2,3]triazol-1-yl)(4-benzylpiperazin-1-yl)methanones and of (1H-benzo[d][1,2,3]triazol-1-yl)(4-phenylpiperazin-1-yl)methanones has been prepared and tested on human fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) and monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL). In the benzylpiperazinyl series, compound 29 (ML30) exhibited an IC(50) value of 0.54 nM on MAGL, combined with a 1000-fold selectivity versus FAAH, while compounds 11 and 16 acted as potent dual FAAH-MAGL inhibitors (IC(50)<10 nM). In the phenylpiperazinyl series, compounds 37, 38, 42, and 43 displayed IC(50) values against MAGL in the nanomolar range, whilst being between one and two orders of magnitude less potent on the FAAH, while compounds 31 and 32 were potent FAAH inhibitors (IC(50)<20 nM) and over 12-fold selective versus MAGL. The key structural determinants driving the structure-activity relationships were explored by the minimization of the inhibitors inside the active site of both enzymes.

Abstract
Monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL) is responsible for signal termination of 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG), an endocannabinoid neurotransmitter endowed with several physiological effects. Previously, we showed that the arylthioamide scaffold represents a privileged template for designing MAGL inhibitors. A series of 37 compounds resulting from pharmacomodulations around the arylthioamide template were synthesized and tested to evaluate their inhibitory potential on MAGL activity as well as their selectivity over fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH), another endocannabinoid-hydrolyzing enzyme. We have identified 2,4-dinitroaryldithiocarbamate derivatives as a novel class of MAGL inhibitors. Among the synthesized compounds, we identified [2,4-dinitrophenyl-4-(4-tert-butylbenzyl)piperazine-1-carbodithioate] (CK37), as the most potent MAGL inhibitor within this series (IC(50) = 154 nM). We have also identified [2,4-dinitrophenyl-4-benzhydrylpiperazine-1-carbodithioate] (CK16) as a selective MAGL inhibitor. These compounds are irreversible MAGL inhibitors that probably act by interacting with Cys208 or Cys242 and Ser122 residues of the enzyme. Moreover, CK37 is able to raise 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) levels in intact cells.

This paper reports the first examples of poly(diaminosulfide)s that were synthesized by the reaction of a sulfur transfer reagent and several secondary diamines. The diaminosulfide group has the general structure of R(2)N-S-NR(2) and, although it has been used in the synthesis of small molecules, it has never been utilized in the synthesis of macromolecules until this report. A series of poly(diaminosulfide)s were synthesized at elevated temperatures, and the molecular weights of the polymers were as high as 12,400 g mol(-1) with conversions for the polymerization reaction up to 99%. The rate constants for the transamination reactions that lead to the polymers were measured in several solvents to provide an understanding the reaction conditions necessary to polymerize the monomers. The degradation of diaminosulfides were studied in D(2)O, C(6)D(6), CD(3)OD, CDCl(3), and DMSO-d(6)/D(2)O to demonstrate that they were very stable in organic solvents but degraded within hours under aqueous conditions. These results clearly demonstrated that diaminosulfides are very stable in organic solvents under ambient conditions. Poly(diaminosulfide)s have sufficient stabilities to be useful for many applications. The ability of these polymers to function as drug delivery vehicles were studied by the fabrication of nanoparticles of a water-insoluble poly(diaminosulfide) with a dye. The microparticles were readily absorbed into human embryonic 293 cells and possessed no measureable toxicity towards these same cells.
