Ramadas,Srinivasan,Janarthanan
, p. 6447 - 6450 (1993)
A convenient route for quantitative conversion of symmetrical thioureas into unsymmetrical thioureas is described. The method circumvents the use of toxic isothiocyanates and a case study is reported using 1,3-diphenylthiourea.

We describe the first thiourea-catalyzed C?F bond activation. The use of a thiourea catalyst and Ti(OiPr)4 as a fluoride scavenger allows the amination of benzylic fluorides to proceed in moderate to excellent yields. Preliminary results with S- and O-based nucleophiles are also presented. DFT calculations reveal the importance of hydrogen bonds between the catalyst and the fluorine atom of the substrate to lower the activation energy during the transition state.
Facile synthesis of phthalidyl fused spiro thiohydantoins through silica sulfuric acid induced oxidative rearrangement of ninhydrin adducts of thioureas

A one-pot three-component sequential synthetic protocol produces structurally and biologically important phthalidyl fused spiro N,N′-disubstituted thiohydantoins from readily available aromatic isothiocyanates, primary amines and ninhydrin. In this three-step synthesis while the initial two steps are catalyst-free, in the final step silica sulfuric acid (SSA) induces an oxidative rearrangement in [3.3.0]-bicyclic 1,2-diol adducts of ninhydrin and thioureas under solvent-free condition to generate the final products spiro-fused thiohydantoins. The adequate acidity of SSA in cooperation with moderate oxidizing property promotes a facile oxidative rearrangement in 1,2-diol intermediates to produce the spiro-fused thiohydantoins with diverse functionalities. Easy recyclability of SSA, good to excellent yield of the products, wider substrate scope, shorter reaction time, solvent-free two steps out of three and high atom economy make this method attractive and practicable.

Metronidazole and its derivatives are widely used for the treatment of amoebiasis. However, metronidazole is considered as the standard drug but it has many side effects. The present study describes the synthesis of a series of metronidazole based thiazolidinone analogs via Knoevenagel condensation of 4-[2-(2-methyl-5-nitro-1H-imidazole-1-yl)ethoxy]benzaldehyde 1 with various thiazolidinone derivatives 2–14 to get the new scaffold (15–27) having better activity and lesser toxicity. Six compounds have shown better efficacy and lesser cytotoxicity than the standard drug metronidazole towards HM1: IMSS strain of Entamoeba histolytica. These compounds may combat the problem of drug resistance and might be effective in identifying potential alternatives for future drug discovery against EhOASS.

Targeting secreted aspartic protease 2 (SAP2), a kind of virulence factor, represents a new strategy for antifungal drug discovery. In this report, the first-generation of small molecule SAP2 inhibitors was rationally designed and optimized using a structure-based approach. In particular, inhibitor 23h was highly potent and selective and showed good antifungal potency for the treatment of resistant Candida albicans infections.

An efficient synthesis of thiazolidine-2,4,5-triimine derivatives was developed via Ni-catalyzed oxidative double isocyanide insertion to thioureas under air conditions, in which thioureas play three roles as a substrate, a ligand, and overcoming isocyanide polymerization. The reaction is featured by employing a low-cost and low loading Ni(acac)2 catalyst, without any additives, and high atom economy. This is the first example to directly apply a Ni(II) catalyst in oxidative double isocyanide insertion reactions.

Syntheses of five and six membered heterocyclic derivatives by the reaction of disubstituted thiocarbamides with interintramolecular cyclizations in catalyst free condition have been reported. The simple product isolation without column, good yields under mild condition, and applicable green matrix are the advantages of present protocol.

Leishmaniasis is a neglected tropical disease caused by protozoan parasites belonging to the genus Leishmania. Currently, the drugs available for treatment of this disease present high toxicity, along with development of parasite resistance. In order to overcome these problems, efforts have been made to search for new and more effective leishmanicidal drugs. The aim of this study was to synthesize and investigate the leishmanicidal effect of N,N′-disubstituted thioureas against Leishmania amazonensis, with evaluation of their in silico pharmacokinetics and toxicity profiles. Our results showed that different thioureas could be obtained in high to moderate yields using simple reaction conditions. Nine thiourea derivatives (3e, 3i, 3k, 3l, 3p, 3q, 3v, 3x and 3z) were active against parasite promastigotes (IC50 21.48–189.10μM), with low cytotoxicity on mice peritoneal macrophages (CC50>200μM), except for thiourea 3e (CC50=49.22μM). After that, the most promising thioureas (3k, 3l, 3p, 3q and 3v) showed IC50 ranging from 70 to 150μM against L. amazonensis amastigotes in infected macrophages. Except for thiourea 3p, the leishmanicidal activity of the derivatives were independent of nitric oxide (NO) production. Thioureas 3q and 3v affected promastigotes cell cycle without disturbing the mitochondrial membrane potential. Furthermore, our derivatives showed satisfactory theoretical absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, toxicity (ADMET) properties. These data indicate that thiourea derivatives are good candidates as leading compounds for the development of new leishmanicidal drugs.

A robust, chemoselective direct condensation/cyclization of thioureas and amino alcohols is described. Employing a bench-stable Vilsmeier reagent, methoxymethylene- N, N -dimethyliminium methyl sulfate, the selective in situ activation of alcohols is achieved with high efficiency and broad functional-group tolerance. The reversible interaction of the Vilsmeier reagent with substrate was key to the success of this activation strategy.

The incidence of hematological disorders has increased steadily in Western countries despite the advances in drug development. The high expression of the multi-resistance protein 4 in patients with transitory aspirin resistance, points to the importance of finding new molecules, including those that are not affected by these proteins. In this work, we describe the synthesis and biological evaluation of a series of N,N′-disubstituted thioureas derivatives using in vitro and in silico approaches. New designed compounds inhibit the arachidonic acid pathway in human platelets. The most active thioureas (compounds 3d, 3i, 3m and 3p) displayed IC50 values ranging from 29 to 84 μM with direct influence over in vitro PGE2 and TXA2 formation. In silico evaluation of these compounds suggests that direct blockage of the tyrosyl-radical at the COX-1 active site is achieved by strong hydrophobic contacts as well as electrostatic interactions. A low toxicity profile of this series was observed through hemolytic, genotoxic and mutagenic assays. The most active thioureas were able to reduce both PGE2 and TXB2 production in human platelets, suggesting a direct inhibition of COX-1. These results reinforce their promising profile as lead antiplatelet agents for further in vivo experimental investigations.
