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).

Beta-DL-Thiaproline (thiazolidine 2-carboxylic acid) is a good substrate for hog kidney D-aminoacid oxidase. Unlike other known substrates, beta-thiaproline is better oxidized at neutral than at alkaline pH. At neutral pH beta-thiaproline is a better substrate than D-proline. Beta-DL-thiaproline is fully

Copper complexes with strong anticancer activity are promising new drugs for treatment of patients with metastatic cancer. Copper 8-hydroxyquinoline-2-carboxaldehyde-thiosemicarbazide (CuHQTS) and copper 8-hydroxyquinoline-2-carboxaldehyde-4,4-dimethyl-3-thiosemicarbazide (CuHQDMTS) were found to have strong anticancer activity against cisplatin-resistant neuroblastoma cells and prostate cancer cells.
