A simple and efficient synthesis of diaryl ureas with reduction of the intermediate isocyanate by triethylamine

Thirty symmetrical diaryl urea derivatives were synthesised in moderate to excellent yields from arylamine and triphosgene with triethylamine as a reducing agent for the intermediate, isocyanate. It was significant that part of the products could be collected in almost quantitative yield without column chromatography. The procedure under mild reaction conditions was tolerant of a wide range of functional groups. The structures of the compounds were determined by NMR, MS and X-ray crystallographic analyses.

In vitro inhibition of translation initiation by N,N′-diarylureas - Potential anti-cancer agents

Symmetrical N,N′-diarylureas: 1,3-bis(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-, 1,3-bis[4-chloro-3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]- and 1,3-bis[3,5- bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]urea, were identified as potent activators of the eIF2α kinase heme regulated inhibitor. They reduce the abundance of the eIF2·GTP·tRNAiMet ternary complex and inhibit cancer cell proliferation. An optimization process was undertaken to improve their solubility while preserving their biological activity. Non-symmetrical hybrid ureas were generated by combining one of the hydrophobic phenyl moieties present in the symmetrical ureas with the polar 3-hydroxy-tolyl moiety. O-alkylation of the later added potentially solubilizing charge bearing groups. The new non-symmetrical N,N′-diarylureas were characterized by ternary complex reporter gene and cell proliferation assays, demonstrating good bioactivities. A representative sample of these compounds potently induced phosphorylation of eIF2α and expression of CHOP at the protein and mRNA levels. These inhibitors of translation initiation may become leads for the development of potent, non-toxic, and target specific anti-cancer agents.

Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors - Part 49: Synthesis of substituted ureido and thioureido derivatives of aromatic/heterocyclic sulfonamides with increased affinities for isozyme I

Reaction of nine aromatic/heterocyclic sulfonamides containing a free amino group with aryl isocyanates/isothiocyanates or allyl isothiocyanate afforded the corresponding urea/thiourea derivatives, which were characterized by standard physico-chemical procedures and assayed as inhibitors of three isozymes of carbonic anhydrase (CA), i.e. hCA I, hCA II and bCA IV (h = human, b = bovine isozyme). Another series of compounds, 1,5-disubstituted-2-thiobiuret derivatives, were prepared by reaction of 3,4-dichlorophenyl isocyanate with thioureido-containing aromatic/heterocyclic sulfonamides. Good inhibition of all these three CA isozymes was observed with the new compounds, but an exciting finding was that the ureas/thioureas and especially the above-mentioned thiobiurets reported here have an increased affinity to the slow isozyme hCA I, generally less susceptible to inhibition by sulfonamides, as compared to the rapid isozymes hCA II and bCA IV. Some of the new compounds might constitute good lead molecules for developing more selective CA I inhibitors.
