We compared the rate of colonic bacterial reduction of disulfide and nitro bonds to that of an azo counterpart. The disulfide and nitro reduction rates are comparable to that of azo having a similar molecular structure. We further explored QSAR of bacterial reduction of different nitro compounds giving a Hammett correlation with ρ = 0.553, R2 = 0.97. We conclude that disulfide and nitro compounds have an unexploited potential for use in prodrugs and drug delivery systems targeted to the colon.

The invention relates to 2-thio-substituted imidazole derivatives of formula (I), wherein the radicals R1, R2, R3 and m have the meanings as cited in the description. The inventive compounds comprise an immunomodulatory action and/or an action that inhibits the release of cytokines and are thus suited for treating diseases associated with a disorder of the immune system.
