The indole and phenyl ring systems in the title compound, C18H18N2S2, are nearly coplanar, the indole and phenyl planes forming a dihedral angle of 6.5 (1)°. Supramolecular aggregation is effected by N—H⋯S, C—H⋯S, N—H⋯π and C—H⋯π interactions. The crystal studied exhibited inversion twinning.

The title compound was prepared by the reported procedure (Gaspari et al., 2006). Diffraction quality crystals were obtained by recrystallizing the crude product from a 1:1 mixture of dichloromethane and petroleum ether.
All H-atoms were located in difference maps and their positions and isotropic displacement parameters freely refined.
of the Flack (1983) parameter indicated an with components of slightly different size.The enzyme indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) has been reported to play a role in tumour immunosuppression. IDO inhibitors have been reported to be novel therapeutics for cancer treatment. The natural product brassinin has been shown to be a moderately active competitive IDO inhibitor. The title compound, (I), Fig. 1, is a brassinin derivative and its IDO inhibitory properties have been reported (Gaspari et al., 2006). The present investigation is aimed at the study of the molecular and supramolecular architecture of the title compound. This study may serve as a forerunner to an investigation of the correlation between the molecular and supramolecular features of this compound with its biological activity.
In (I), the dithiocarbamate moiety is essentially planar, as shown by the small deviation of N12 [0.0036 (6) Å], C13 [-0.009 (2) Å], S14 [0.0032 (5) Å] & S15 [0.0027 (5) Å] atoms from their mean plane. The interplanar angle between the indole and the phenyl ring is 6.5 (1)° thereby confirming their near coplanarity.
The π and C—H···π interactions, Fig. 2, Table 1. The H-bond distances found in (I) agree with those reported in literature (Desiraju & Steiner, 1999; Desiraju, 1989). The C11—H11B···S14 interaction generates a motif of graph set (Bernstein et al., 1995; Etter, 1990) S(5). Another S(5) motif is formed by the C16—H16···S14 interaction. The N12—H12···S14i interaction generates an infinite one-dimensional chain along [001]. The N12—H12···S14i and C16—H16A···S15ii interactions generate a binary motif of graph set R22(9). The C8—H8···Cg2ii and C9—H9···Cg1ii interactions generate an R22(6) motif in which each of the aromatic rings are considered as single acceptor atoms. Cg1 is the centroid of the N1, C2, C3, C4 & C5 ring, Cg2 that of the C4, C5, C6, C7, C8 & C9 ring and Cg3 that of the C17, C18, C19, C20, C21 & C22 ring, Table 1.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

The enzyme indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) has been reported to play a role in tumour immunosuppression. IDO inhibitors have been reported to be novel therapeutics for cancer treatment. The natural product brassinin has been shown to be a moderately active competitive IDO inhibitor. The title compound, (I), Fig. 1, is a brassinin derivative and its IDO inhibitory properties have been reported (Gaspari et al., 2006). The present investigation is aimed at the study of the molecular and supramolecular architecture of the title compound. This study may serve as a forerunner to an investigation of the correlation between the molecular and supramolecular features of this compound with its biological activity.
In (I), the dithiocarbamate moiety is essentially planar, as shown by the small deviation of N12 [0.0036 (6) Å], C13 [-0.009 (2) Å], S14 [0.0032 (5) Å] & S15 [0.0027 (5) Å] atoms from their mean plane. The interplanar angle between the indole and the phenyl ring is 6.5 (1)° thereby confirming their near coplanarity.
The crystal structure of (I) is stabilized by the interplay of N—H···S, C—H···S, N—H···π and C—H···π interactions, Fig. 2, Table 1. The H-bond distances found in (I) agree with those reported in literature (Desiraju & Steiner, 1999; Desiraju, 1989). The C11—H11B···S14 interaction generates a motif of graph set (Bernstein et al., 1995; Etter, 1990) S(5). Another S(5) motif is formed by the C16—H16···S14 interaction. The N12—H12···S14i interaction generates an infinite one-dimensional chain along [001]. The N12—H12···S14i and C16—H16A···S15ii interactions generate a binary motif of graph set R22(9). The C8—H8···Cg2ii and C9—H9···Cg1ii interactions generate an R22(6) motif in which each of the aromatic rings are considered as single acceptor atoms. Cg1 is the centroid of the N1, C2, C3, C4 & C5 ring, Cg2 that of the C4, C5, C6, C7, C8 & C9 ring and Cg3 that of the C17, C18, C19, C20, C21 & C22 ring, Table 1.
