A simple O-sulfated thiohydroximate molecule to be the first micromolar range myrosinase inhibitor

New non-hydrolyzable analogues of glucosinolates have been prepared. Myrosinase inhibition was observed with modified aglycon moieties, even bulky phenothiazine analogue 6 gave reasonable inhibition. The simplest structure 8 derived from dimethylaminoethanethiol has shown to be the most potent inhibitor with an IC50 of 3.32 μM.
