The synthesis of a series of new isothiazol-3(2H)-one 1,1-dioxides with halogenated (mostly fluorinated) pyridinyl and pentafluorophenyl substituents at 2-position is reported. These compounds (18-24) became easily accessible from 2-thiocyanato-1-carboxaldehydes and aminopyridines, pentafluoroaniline, respectively, by an isothiazolium cyclization-oxidation route. Compound 21 exhibited an IC(50) value of 3.1 microM toward human leukocyte elastase. The proteases cathepsin G, trypsin, cathepsin L, and angiotensin-converting enzyme, and the serine esterases acetylcholinesterase and cholesterol esterase were not inhibited by 21.
