General description

The kinetics of inhibition on mushroom tyrosinase by 2-mercaptoimidazole has been investigated. The pH dependent surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectra of biologically and industrially significant, 2-mercaptoimidazole molecule at 1.0×10-10M concentration have been investigated.

Application

2-Mercaptoimidazole has been used in chemical modification of silica gel for selective separation of mercury(II) from an aqueous solution.

In this study, we synthesized 4 methimazole (2-mercapto-1-methylimidazole, MMI) derivatives. The kinetics of inhibition on mushroom tyrosinase by methimazole and its derivatives were investigated. The results indicated that tert-butyl 3-methyl-2-sulfanylidene-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazole-1-carboxylate (compound 3; 3), 2-mercaptoimidazole (MI; compound 1; 1) and MMI

The pH dependent surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectra of biologically and industrially significant, 2-mercaptoimidazole (2-MI) molecule at 1.0×10(-10)M concentration have been investigated. The pH dependent SERS spectra are compared with the corresponding normal Raman spectra (NRS) of the molecule. The

The absolute configurations of two precursors, that is, 1-(3',4'-dichlorophenyl)-propanol and 1-(3',4'-dichlorophenyl)-propanamine, of a potent 2-mercapto-imidazole CCR-2 receptor antagonist, JNJ-27553292, were determined using vibrational circular dichroism. As a consequence, the absolute configuration of the antagonist itself was also determined. The two
