Paragraph 0037-0044; 0046-0050, (2021/03/31)
The invention discloses a preparation method of a thiourea alkylation derivative, which comprises the following steps: stirring an aldehyde, N-arylthiourea, trichlorosilane and Lewis base in an organic solvent at a range of -10 DEG C to room temperature for reaction, and carrying out after-treatment to obtain the thiourea alkylation derivative, wherein the molar ratio of the aldehyde to the N-arylthiourea is 1:2 to 2:1, the molar ratio of the aldehyde to the Lewis base is 1:(0.01-0.20), the molar ratio of the aldehyde to trichlorosilane is 1:(1-2), R1 is a C1-C5 saturated alkyl group, or an unsubstituted or substituted aromatic ring, and R2 is H, an electron withdrawing substituent or an electron donating substituent. According to the method, trichlorosilane is catalyzed by the micromolecular Lewis base, reductive alkylation of thiourea is realized, synthesis can be realized by a one-pot method, and the method is simple to operate, short in reaction time, low in substrate toxicity, lowin cost, easy to obtain, mild in reaction condition and high in safety.

Infections caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa become increasingly difficult to treat because these bacteria have acquired various mechanisms for antibiotic resistance, which creates the need for mechanistically novel antibiotics. Such antibiotics might be developed by targeting enzymes involved in the iron uptake mechanism because iron is essential for bacterial survival. For P. aeruginosa, pyoverdine has been described as an important virulence factor that plays a key role in iron uptake. Therefore, inhibition of enzymes involved in the pyoverdine synthesis, such as PvdP tyrosinase, can open a new window for the treatment of P. aeruginosa infections. Previously, we reported phenylthiourea as the first allosteric inhibitor of PvdP tyrosinase with high micromolar potency. In this report, we explored structure-activity relationships (SAR) for PvdP tyrosinase inhibition by phenylthiourea derivatives. This enables identification of a phenylthiourea derivative (3c) with a potency in the submicromolar range (IC50 = 0.57 + 0.05 μM). Binding could be rationalized by molecular docking simulation and 3c was proved to inhibit the bacterial pyoverdine production and bacterial growth in P. aeruginosa PA01 cultures.

In this work, we developed a one-pot synthesis of guanidine directly from isothiocyanate using DIB (diacetoxyiodobenzene) as a desulfurizing agent under micellar conditions in water. Our optimization study revealed that the use of 1 % TPGS-750-M as a surfactant with NaOH as an additive base at room temperature can convert a variety of isothiocyanates and amines into corresponding guanidines in excellent yields (69–95 %). This synthetic process in water can be applied to prepare guanidine at gram-scale quantity. Our aqueous micellar medium also demonstrated high reusability as the reaction can be performed for several cycles without losing its efficiency. The reaction is metal-free, utilizes water as solvent and practical (room temperature and open flask).
