Twenty four 1-[2-alkylthio-5-(azol-2 or 5-yl)-4-chlorobenzenesulfonyl]-3-hydroxyguanidines 6a-x have been synthesized in order to evaluate their biological activity. Compounds 6a, 6c, 6d, 6f, 6g, 6i-p, 6r-t, and 6v-x were tested for their in vitro anticancer activity at the US National Cancer Institute. The

Nitric oxide (NO) is a potent intra- and intercellular messenger involved in the control of vascular tone, neuronal signalling and host response to infection. In mammals, NO is synthesized by oxidation of l-arginine catalysed by hemeproteins called NO-synthases with intermediate

The electrochemical properties of a series of N-substituted-N'-hydroxyguanidines were studied. Two oxidation potentials of each compound were obtained by cyclic voltammetry. The E(ox1) values were from 0.51 to 0.62V, while the E(ox2) values were from 1.14 to 1.81V in acetonitrile

Microsomal cytochromes P450 and tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) free-NOS II catalyze the oxidation of N-hydroxyguanidines by NADPH and O2 with formation of nitrogen oxides including NO. These reactions are not selective in terms of substrates, as they occur on most N-hydroxyguanidines, and
