Abstract:
:The Castagnoli-Cushman reaction between diglycolic anhydride and imines was applied for the synthesis of morpholine derivatives containing a thioamide or an amidino group. Enzyme inhibition assays towards BACE1 revealed an unexpected role of the cyclic thioamide group in providing inhibition in the micromolar range. Molecular docking calculations showed the thioamido group interacting with catalytic aspartic acid, and calculated BBB permeability indicated this molecular scaffold as a promising hit for further optimization.
