Their inhibitory activities against two different isoforms of nitric oxide synthase (inducible and neuronal NOS) are reported. The novel derivatives were synthesized combining the arylthiadiazoline or arylpyrazoline skeleton and a carboxamide or carbothioamide moiety, used as starting material ethyl 2-nitrobenzoates or substituted nitrobenzaldehydes, respectively. The structure-activity relationships of final molecules are discussed in terms of the R1 radical effects in the aromatic ring, the Y atom in the heterocyclic system, the X heteroatom in the main chain, and the R2 substituent in the carboxamide or carbothioamide rest. In general, thiadiazolines (5a–e) inhibit preferentially the neuronal isoform; among them, 5a is the best nNOS inhibitor (74.11% at 1 mM, IC50 = 420 μM). In contrast, pyrazolines (6a–r) behave better as iNOS than nNOS inhibitors, 6m being the best molecule of this series (76.86% at 1 mM of iNOS inhibition, IC50 = 130 μM) and the most potent of all tested compounds.}, organization = {This work was partially supported by the Instituto de Salud Carlos III through Grant FI11/00432.}, publisher = {Hindawi Publishing Corporation}, title = {Thiadiazoline- and Pyrazoline-Based Carboxamides and Carbothioamides: Synthesis and Inhibition against Nitric Oxide Synthase}, doi = {doi.org/10.1155/2018/9242616}, author = {Arias Bordajandi, Fabio and Camacho Quesada, Encarnación and Carrión Peregrina, María Dora and Chayah Ghaddab, Meriem and Romero Pérez, Miguel and Duarte Pérez, Juan Manuel and Gallo Mezo, Miguel Ángel}, }
