Abstract: In order to find efficient new antitumor drugs, a series of novel pyrimidine derivatives containing urea moiety were designed and synthesized, and the antitumor activity of four human tumor cells was evaluated by MTT analysis. The results showed that most of the target compounds exhibited moderate antitumor activity. In particular, the IC50 (concentration required to achieve 50% inhibition of the tumor cell proliferation) value of compound 2-((4-(4-ethylphenoxy)-6-(trifluoromethyl)pyrimidin-2-yl)thio)-N-((4-ethylphenyl)carba-moyl)acetamide for MGC-803 (human gastric carcinoma cell line) was 2.51 ± 0.17 μmol L–1, the anti-proliferative activity was significantly better than the positive control drug 5-fluorouracil. Molecular docking revealed that this compound can bind well to the active site of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), and it may become a potential antitumor drug.

In this study, we synthesized four series of novel L-homoserine lactone analogs and evaluated their in vitro quorum sensing (QS) inhibitory activity against two biomonitor strains, Chromobacterium violaceum CV026 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1. Studies of the structure–activity relationships of the set of L-homoserine lactone analogs indicated that phenylurea-containing N-dithiocarbamated homoserine lactones are more potent than (Z)-4-bromo-5-(bromomethylene)-2(5H)-furanone (C30), a positive control for biofilm formation. In particular, compared with C30, QS inhibitor 11f significantly reduced the production of virulence factors (pyocyanin, elastase and rhamnolipid), swarming motility, the formation of biofilm and the mRNA level of QS-related genes regulated by the QS system of PAO1. These results reveal 11f as a potential lead compound for developing novel antibacterial quorum sensing inhibitors.

We prepared a series of quinoxalin-2-mercapto-acetyl-urea analogs and evaluated them for their ability to inhibit viral egress in our Marburg and Ebola VP40 VLP budding assays in HEK293T cells. We also evaluated selected compounds in our bimolecular complementation assay (BiMC) to detect and visualize a Marburg mVP40–Nedd4 interaction in live mammalian cells. Antiviral activity was assessed for selected compounds using a live recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) (M40 virus) that expresses the EBOV VP40 PPxY L-domain. Finally selected compounds were evaluated in several ADME assays to have an early assessment of their drug properties. Our compounds had low nM potency in these assays (e.g., compounds 21, 24, 26, 39), and had good human liver microsome stability, as well as little or no inhibition of P450 3A4.

A number of N-phenyl-N′-(2-chloroethyl)ureas (CEUs) have been shown to be potent antimitotics through their covalent binding to the colchicine-binding site on intracellular β-tubulin. The present communication aimed to evaluate the role of the electrophilic 2-chloroethyl amino moiety of CEU on cell growth inhibition and the specificity of the drugs as irreversible antagonists of the colchicine-binding site. To that end, several N-phenyl-N′-(2-ethyl)urea (EU), N-phenyl-N′-(2-chloroethyl)urea (CEU), N-aryl amino-2-oxazoline (OXA), and N-phenyl-N′-(2-chloroacetyl)urea (CAU) derivatives were prepared and tested for their antiproliferative activity, their effect on the cell cycle, and their irreversible binding to β-tubulin. EU derivatives were devoid of antiproliferative activity. CEUs (2h-2i, 2k, 2l, OXA 3e, 3h, 3i, 3k, 3l, tBCEU, and ICEU), OXA (3h, 3i, 3k, 3l, tBOXA, and IOXA), and CAU (4a-4m, tBCAU, and ICAU) had GI50 between 1.7 and 10 μM on three tumor cell lines. Cytotoxic CEU and OXA arrested the cell cycle in G2/M phase, while the corresponding CAU were not phase specific. Finally, Western blot analysis clearly showed that only CEUs 2h, 2k, 2l, tBCEU, ICEU and OXA 3h, 3i, 3k, 3l, tBOXA,and IOXA were able to bind irreversibly to the colchicine-binding site. Our results suggest that increasing the potency of the electrophilic moiety of the aromatic ureas enhances their antiproliferative activity but decreases significantly their capacity to covalently bind to the colchicine-binding site.
