The volatiles formed from [1-(13)C]-ribose and cysteine during 4 h at 95 degrees C in aqueous phosphate buffer (pH 5) were analyzed by headspace SPME in combination with GC-MS. The extent and position of the labeling were determined using MS data. The identified volatiles comprised sulfur compounds such as 2-[(13)C]methyl-3-furanthiol, 2-[(13)CH(2)]furfurylthiol, [1-(13)C]-3-mercaptopentan-2-one, [1-(13)C]-3-mercaptobutan-2-one, [4-(13)C]-3-mercaptobutan-2-one, and 3-mercaptobutan-2-one. The results confirm furan-2-carbaldehyde as an intermediate of 2-furfurylthiol, as well as 1,4-dideoxypento-2,3-diulose as an intermediate of 2-methyl-3-furanthiol and 3-mercaptopentan-2-one. Loss of the C-1 and C-5 carbon moieties during the formation of 3-mercaptobutan-2-one suggests two different mechanisms leading to the key intermediate butane-2,3-dione.

New neprilysin inhibitors containing an α-mercaptoketone HSC(RR)CO group, as zinc ligand were designed. Two parameters were explored for potency optimization: the size of the inhibitor which could interact with the S, S' or S' domain of the enzyme and the nature of the substituents R, R of the mercaptoketone group. Introduction of a cyclohexyl chain in R, R position and a (3-thiophen)benzyl group in position R (compound 12n) yielded to the most potent inhibitor of this series with a Ki value of 2±0.

A novel series of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) inhibitors is described. Incorporation of a terminal alpha-mercaptoketone or alpha-mercaptoalcohol in the zinc binding domain of a series of inhibitors led to compounds exhibiting low nanomolar activity against collagenase-1 (MMP-1), stromelysin (MMP-3), and gelatinase-B (MMP-9).
