General description

Thiazolidine-2-carboxylic acid (β-thiaproline) is a proline analog. It is an important building block of β-lactam antibiotics. Its X-ray photoelectron spectra has been investigated. It has been reported as a physiological substrate of hog kidney D-amino acid oxidase. Thiazolidine-2-carboxylic acid can be synthesized from cysteamine and glyoxylate.

Application

Thiazolidine-2-carboxylic acid may be used in the synthesis of azabicycloadducts and 5-aryl-2,3-dihydropyrrolo[2,1-b]thiazole-6,7-dimethanol 6,7-bis(isopropylcarbamates).

Thiazolidine-2-carboxylic acid, or beta-thiaproline, is a proline analog in which the beta methylene group of proline is substituted by a sulfur atom. It has been deomonstrated that beta-thiaproline is activated and transferred to tRNAPro by Escherichia coli and rat liver

Adducts of glyoxylate with L-cysteine or L-cysteinylglycine were found to be excellent substrates at low concentrations for beef kidney D-aspartate oxidase. Evidence is presented that cis-thiazolidine-2,4-dicarboxylate and its glycine amide are the actual substrates, and that both are converted in

2-Substituted thiazolidine-4(R)-carboxylic acids (TD) were found to increase the concentration of non-protein sulphydryls (NPSH) and the activity of rhodanese (thiosulphate sulphurtransferase, EC 2.8.1.1) and 3-mercaptopyruvate sulphurtransferase (EC 2.8.1.2) in mouse liver. These properties suggest TDs are potentially hepatoprotective compounds. However
