Solution-phase microwave assisted parallel synthesis, biological evaluation and in silico docking studies of N,N′-disubstituted thioureas derived from 3-chlorobenzoic acid

A facile and robust microwave-assisted solution phase parallel synthesis protocol was exercised for the development of a 38-member library of N,N′-disubstituted thiourea analogues (1–38) by using an identical set of conditions. The reaction time for synthesis of N,N′-disubstituted thiourea analogues was drastically reduced from a reported duration of 8–12 h for conventional methods to only 1.5–2.0 min. All the derivatives (1–38) were characterized by physico-analytical techniques such as elemental analysis in combination with FT-IR,1H,13C NMR and by single crystal XRD analysis have also been performed. These compounds were screened for their in vitro urease inhibition activities. Majority of compounds exhibited potent urease inhibition activities, however, the most significant activity was found for 16, with an IC50value of 1.23 ± 0.1 μM. Furthermore, the synthesized compounds were screened for their cytotoxic potential against lungs cancer cell lines. Cell culture studies demonstrated significant toxicity of the compounds on the cell lines, and the levels of toxicity were altered in the presence of various side groups. The molecular docking studies of the most potent inhibitors were performed to identify the probable binding modes in the active site of the urease enzymes. These compounds have a great potential and significance for further investigations.

Design, syntheses and evaluation of benzoylthioureas as urease inhibitors of agricultural interest

Urea is one of the most used nitrogen fertilizers worldwide. However, occurrence of urea hydrolysis to ammonia and carbon dioxide on soil surface, catalyzed by soil ureases, considerably reduces nitrogen availability to crops. In this study, we describe the design, synthesis and screening of sixty five benzoylthioureas (BTUs) for their ability to inhibit purified jack bean and soil ureases. BTUs were readily obtained in one pot, two steps synthesis with no need of cumbersome procedures for product purification. In vitro assays revealed BTUs 11, 12, 14, 19-22 and 37 as the most active jack bean urease inhibitors. Such BTUs were found to be able to bind to both catalytic and allosteric sites of urease, acting therefore as mixed-type inhibitors. Out of 28 compounds that effectively inhibited soil ureases activity, BTUs 3, 6, 10, 12, 16, 19 and 22 were determined to be more potent than the reference inhibitor N-(butyl) thiophosphoric triamide (NBPT; 40%). The other 22 BTUs were as potent as NBPT on soil ureases. The temperature-tolerance of BTUs, along with their ability to inhibit soil ureases, makes of this class of compounds potential additive for urea-based fertilizers.

Synthesis and crystal structure of some novel 2-aroylimino-3-aryl-4-phenyl- 1,3-thiazolines

An efficient synthesis of some novel 2-aroylimino-3-aryl-4-phenyl-1,3- thiazolines was carried out by base-catalyzed cyclization of 1-aroyl-3-arylthioureas with acetophenone in the presence of bromine. The structures were confirmed by spectroscopic data,

Aroylthioureas: New organic ionophores for heavy-metal ion selective electrodes

Thiourea derivatives (46 aroylthioureas) having different substituents close to the sulfur atom were synthesized and their ionophore potential in ion selective electrodes (ISEs) was examined. Structural considerations were taken into account based on the corresponding heavy-metal ISE parameters. As ionophores, some 1-furoyl-3-substitnted thioureas (series 2) gave the best results in Pb(II), Hg(II) and Cd(II) ISEs. The strong intramolecular hydrogen bond in series 2 allows ligand interaction only through the C=S group. Substituents on the furan and phenyl rings give rise to low solubility in the membrane plasticizer. 3-Alkyl substituted furoylthioureas improve solubility but enhance oxidative processes with chain length. New X-ray diffraction (XRD) structures and theoretical DFT calculations were considered in the analysis of the substituent influence on the selectivity of ISEs. These new ionophores have advantages because of their stability, simple synthesis and easy modification of the sulfur binding ability resulting from substitution.
