“…1 Among these, isothiazolones and benzisothiazolones (BIT) constitute an important class due to the presence of electrophilic sulfur as part of the ring. 2,3 The capability of these compounds to form disulde bonds with sulfur nucleophiles or to chelate biologically relevant metals such as zinc 4,5 has been correlated with their activities against human leukocyte elastase, [6][7][8][9] RNA polymerase, proteases, 10,11 HIV-NcP-7, 12 telomerase, 13,14 blood platelet aggregation, 15 microbes, [16][17][18] and proliferation. 19,20 Recently, Groutas and co-workers have evaluated the activities of benzisothiazolone derivatives against fungal strains, 21 and viruses causing Dengue and West Nile fever.…”
