“…For the same reason, the 3‐bromo derivatives are much more represented and interesting for medicinal chemistry research, being the 3‐bromo‐4,5‐dihydroisoxazole scaffold an appealing warhead for the covalent inhibition of target enzymes and a polyvalent synthetic intermediate. Indeed, over the years, this warhead has been exploited in several covalent‐acting biologically active compounds, [10–12] including antibiotic, [13] antiparasitic, [14–21] and neuroprotective agents [22–24] . Concerning the mechanism of action, the 3‐bromo‐4,5‐dihydroisoxazole can react at the C3 position with nucleophilic amino acidic residues of a catalytic triad, e. g., cysteine, threonine, and serine, through an addition‐elimination mechanism (Ad−E), represented in Scheme 1, which may lead to the formation of a covalent bond and inactivation of the target (e. g., GAPDH, cathepsin L‐like cysteine proteases) [9] .…”
