The present invention provides NOS inhibitors such as iNOS inhibitors, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, ester, prodrug, complex, solvate, hydrate, or isomer thereof, in any crystalline form or in amorphous form. The inhibitors include 1,1 or 1,2 substituted-ethyl carbamimido thioates, cyclic compounds substituted with a carbamimidoyl sulfanylethylphenyl group and a carbamimidoylsulfanyl group, compounds substituted with a carbamimidoyl sulfanylethyl phenylmethyl group, bis-carbamimidoylsulfanylethyl substituted compounds, 2-propoxypyridine derivatives, alkylamine or heteroalkylamine derivatives, n-aminoethyl n-phenyl amine derivatives, and saturated heterocyclic fused benzene derivatives. Pharmaceutical products comprising the NOS inhibitors such as iNOS inhibitors and the applications thereof in prophylaxis and/or treatment of inflammatory diseases, and proliferative diseases such as cancer including gastro-intestinal, colorectal, gynecological, pancreatic, head and neck, esophageal, breast, lung, and central nervous system tumors, among others, are also provided.

The present invention provides compounds according to Formula I as described herein, and their use for inhibiting the lysine gingipain protease (Kgp) from the bacterium Porphyromonas gingivalis. Also described are gingipain activity probe compounds and methods for assaying gingipain activity are also described, as well as methods for the treatment of disorders associated with P. gingivalis infection, including brain disorders such as Alzheimer's disease.
