‘Frustrated’ hydrogen-bonded self-associated systems as templates towards DNA incorporated nanostructure formation

Herein, we present the synthesis of a thymine nucleobase-appended ‘frustrated’ monomer, which exhibits self-association in DMSO solutions through the formation of hydrogen bonds. This self-association process has been explored in both competitive DMSO solutions and the solid state, using a combination of NMR and single crystal X-ray diffraction techniques. The self-associative equilibria within the solution state are balanced in such a way that the hydrogen bond donating and accepting thymine residue present within the monomeric structure is free to coordinate further guest species such as the complimentary DNA base adenine. The adenine simulants, 2-aminopyridine and 2,6-diaminopyridine have been used to explore the potential of these self-associated structures towards the coordination of complimentary DNA base pairs.

Lanthanum(III) Trifluoromethanesulfonate Catalyzed Direct Synthesis of Ureas from N-Benzyloxycarbonyl-, N -Allyloxycarbonyl-, and N -2,2,2-Trichloroethoxycarbonyl-Protected Amines

A novel lanthanum triflate mediated conversion of N -benzyloxycarbonyl-, N -allyloxycarbonyl-, and N -trichloroethoxycarbonyl-protected amines into nonsymmetric ureas was discovered. In this study, lanthanum triflate was found to be an effective catalyst for preparing various nonsymmetric ureas from protected amines. A variety of protected aromatic and aliphatic carbamates reacted readily with various amines in the presence of lanthanum triflate to generate the desired ureas in high yields. This result demonstrated that this novel lanthanum triflate catalyzed preparation of ureas from Cbz, Alloc, and Troc carbamates can be employed for the formation of various urea structures.

Antiproliferative effects of novel urea derivatives against human prostate and lung cancer cells; And their inhibition of β-glucuronidase activity

Twenty-one novel urea derivatives were synthesized and their structures characterized by mass, NMR, IR, and UV spectroscopy. These compounds were evaluated for their antiproliferative profile against human PC-3 (prostate) and NCI-H460 (lung) cancer cell lines. Among them, compound 21 N-(3-nitrophenyl)- N′-(1-phenylethyl)urea was found to be active against both PC-3 (IC 50 ± SEM: 20.13 ± 0.91 μM) and NCI-H460 (GI 50: 22 ± 2.6 μM) cell lines; hence has the potential to be further studied as anticancer agent. These compounds were also investigated for their ability to inhibit urease, β-glucuronidase, and phosphodiesterase enzymes. N-(2,6-Dimethylphenyl)-N′-(4′-nitrophenyl)urea (1) demonstrated 90 % inhibition of β-glucuronidase enzyme (IC50 ± SEM: 3.38 ± 0.043 μM).

1,3-disubstituted ureas as antiglycating agents

Twenty one (21) 1,3-disubstituted urea derivatives were screened for their antiglycating potential and some of them displayed promising activity. Compound N-butyl-N'-(4-nitrophenyl)urea (6) and Nisopropyl-N'-(4-nitrophenyl)urea (18) exhibited excellent activity and could be investigated in search of medicines treating diabetes and associated complications.

Substituted urea derivatives: A potent class of antidepressant agents

A series of fourteen (14) N-nitrophenyl-N'-(alkyl/aryl)urea and symmetrical 1,3-disubstituted urea derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for their antidepressant activity in mice. Among them, N-(4-nitrophenyl)-N'-(1'- phenylethyl)urea (1), demonstrat

KINETICS OF REACTIONS OF para-SUBSTITUTED PHENYL ISOCYANATES WITH AMINES AND ALCOHOLS

The reaction of para-substituted phenyl isocyanates with amines and alcohols was studied by stopped-flow method.The Hammett correlation obtained showed that the sensitivity of the above mentioned reactions toward substituent effects is the same as that of
