Some years ago we demonstrated the cytokinin-like activity of the synthetic N-phenyl-N′-benzothiazol-6-ylurea (PBU) and a relevant adventitious rooting adjuvant activity of symmetric urea derivatives devoid of any cytokinin- or auxin-like activity per se. Here we report the synthesis and the biological activity evaluation of nine symmetric or asymmetric ureas/thioureas, structurally related to PBU. None of them show cytokinin-like activity, while we demonstrate for the first time that PBU interacts with Arabidopsis cytokinin receptor CRE1/AHK4 in a heterologous bioassay system. Among the PBU derivatives, all the symmetric ureas/thioureas show an adventitious rooting adjuvant activity in various bioassays, confirming that this activity is strictly dependent on their chemical structure.

Clonidine analogues 2-(N-2-chloro-6-nitrophenylimino) (6a) and 2-(N-2,3,5,6-tetrachlorophenylimino)-4,5-dihydro-1H,3H-imidazole (6b) have been preoared from formanilides (4a,b) by treating them with thionyl chloride followed by condensation with ethylened
