A small library of arylthioamides 1-12 was easily synthesized, and their H2S-releasing properties were evaluated both in the absence or in the presence of an organic thiol such as l-cysteine. A number of arylthioamides (1-3 and 7) showed a slow and l-cysteine-dependent H2S-releasing mechanism, similar to that exhibited by the reference slow H2S-releasing agents, such as diallyl disulfide (DADS) and the phosphinodithioate derivative GYY 4137. Compound 1 strongly abolished the noradrenaline-induced vasoconstriction in isolated rat aortic rings and hyperpolarized the membranes of human vascular smooth muscle cells in a concentration-dependent fashion. Finally, a significant reduction of the systolic blood pressure of anesthetized normotensive rats was observed after its oral administration. Altogether these results highlighted the potential of arylthioamides 1-3 and 7 as H2S-donors for basic studies, and for the rational design/development of promising pharmacotherapeutic agents to treat cardiovascular diseases.

An annulation of arylthioamides with 3-bromopyruvic acid chloride to 5-hydroxy-4H-1,3-thiazin-4-ones has been developed. The initial condensation affords two regioisomeric thiazolinone intermediates in a temperature-dependent manner. The synthesis of the 2-aminophenylthiazinone derivative led to the revision of the previously proposed structure of thiasporine A.

A mild, efficient, facile and eco-friendly procedure for the synthesis of 2,4-diarylthiazoles from arylthioamides and alpha-bromoacetophenones in 1-n-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate as a "green" media under ultrasound irradiation at room temperature is described. It is interesting to mention that only one product was obtained when two different alpha-bromoacetophenones were reacted with 1,3-phenyl dithioamide as the substrate. Work-up is very simple and there is no need to purify the product.
