Abstract:
In order to search for new angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI), a series of N-(2-mercaptobenzoyl)-N-(alkyl/aryl)-glycines (I
1~8) and the corresponding disulfides (Ⅱ
1~8 were synthesized.Compounds I
1~8 were prepared by the condensation of 2,2'-dithiobisbenzoyl dichloride with ethyl N-alkyl/aryl glycinate, followed by reduction and hydrolysis.Compounds Ⅱ
1~8 were obtained by the oxidation of compounds I
1~8 with hydrogen peroxide (30%) in weak alkali medium below 10℃In preliminary test in rats, compounds I
3 and Ⅱ
1 showed marked hypotensive activity.
