The novel ligand 4,4′-dicyanamidobiphenyl dianion (bp2-) has been synthesized and characterized by 13C NMR spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry, and crystallography. The crystal structure of [Ph4As]2[bp]·H2O showed that bp2- is approximately planar with a dihedral angle of 8.2° between phenyl ring planes and the cyanamide groups in an ami conformation. The water of crystallization is asymmetrically hydrogen bonded between cyanamide groups of adjacent bp2- ions. The crystal data for C62H48N4As2+H2O are monoclinic crystal system and space group P21/c with a = 12.998(5) A?, b = 13.465(4) A?, c = 28.703(13) A?, β = 98.94(3)°, V = 4963(3) A?3, and Z = 4. The structure was refined by using 4555 reflections with I > 2.5σ(I) to an R factor of 0.058. The complex, [{(NH3}5Ru}2(μ-bp)][X]4, where X = tosylate or PF6- ions, was also synthesized and characterized by 1H NMR spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry, spectroelectrochemistry, and temperature-dependent magnetic susceptibility measurements. From cyclic voltammetry measurements, the comproportionation constants to form the mixed-valence complex [{(NH3}5Ru)2(μ-bp)]3+ were estimated to be 4.1, 16, and 22 in water, acetonitrile, and nitromethane, respectively. The trend and magnitude of Kc suggests solvent valence trapping of a weakly coupled Class II ion. The MMCT band of the mixed-valence complex had to be deconvoluted from the low-energy LMCT band and had the following properties in acetonitrile, νmax = 8400 cm-1, εmax = 3300 M-1 cm-1, and Δν1/2 = 3300 cm-1. The weak superexchange mediating properties of bp2- compared to 1,4-dicyanamidobenzene dianion were suggested to arise from the larger barrier to the formation of the radical anion bp-.

In the title compound, C8H8N2OS, strong intramolecular N - H...O hydrogen bonds [N...O = 2.669 (3) and 2.618 (3) A] form almost planar six-membered rings and enforce the conformation of the molecule. Two kinds of intermolecular N-H...S hydrogen bonds [N...S = 3.309 (3)-3.456 (2) A] between two symmetry-independent molecules form consecutive dimers that expand in ribbons along the [100] direction.

Environmentally benign syntheses of One-pot sequential reactions of benzoyl chloride with amines followed by the treatment of molecular I2 reagent under basic conditions provide benzoyl tetrazoles and guanidines in moderate to excellent yields. This one-pot synthesis has several advantages such as mild reaction conditions, short reaction time, convenient workup, high yields, using cheap and readily available reagent molecular Iodine. In addition, functional group tolerance has been explored.

Background: Thiourea is a classical urease inhibitor which is usually used as a positive control, and many N,N'-disubstituted thioureas have been determined as urease inhibitors. However, due to steric hindrance, N,N'-disubstituted thiourea motif could not bind urease as thiourea. On the contrary, N-monosubstituted thiourea with a tiny thiourea motif could theoretically bind into the active pocket as thiourea. Objective: A series of N-monosubstituted aroylthioureas were designed and synthesized for evaluation as urease inhibitors. Methods: Urease inhibition was determined by the indophenol method and IC50 values were calculated using computerized linear regression analysis of quantal log dose-probit functions. The kinetic parameters were estimated via surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and by nonlinear regression analysis based on the mixed type inhibition model derived from Michaelis-Menten kinetics. Results: Compounds b2, b11, and b19 reversibly inhibited urease with a mixed mechanism, and showed excellent potency against both cell-free urease and urease in the intact cell, with IC50 values being 90-to 450-fold and 5-to 50-fold lower than the positive control acetohydroxamic acid, respectively. The most potent compound b11 showed an IC50 value of 0.060 ± 0.004μM against cell-free urease, which bound to urea binding site with a very low KD value (0.420±0.003nM) and a very long residence time (6.7 min). Compound b11 was also demonstrated to have very low cytotoxicity to mammalian cells. Conclusion: The results revealed that N-monosubstituted aroylthioureas bound to the active site of urease as expected, and represent a new class of urease inhibitors for the development of potential therapeutics against infections caused by urease-containing pathogens.

Background: New drugs and strategies to treat tuberculosis (TB) are urgently needed. In this context, thiourea derivatives have a wide range of biological activities, including anti-TB. This fact can be illustrated with the structure of isoxyl, an old anti-TB drug, which has a thiourea as a pharmacophore group. Objective: The aim of this study is to describe the synthesis and the antimycobacterial activity of fifty-nine benzoylthioureas derivatives. Methods: Benzoylthiourea derivatives have been synthesized and evaluated for their activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis using the MABA assay. After that, a structure-activity relationship study of this series of compounds has been performed. Results and Discussion: Nineteen compounds exhibited antimycobacterial activity between 423.1 and 9.6 μM. In general, we observed that the presence of bromine, chlorine and t-Bu group at the para-position in benzene ring plays an important role in the antitubercular activity of Series A. These substituents were fixed at this position in benzene ring and other groups such as Cl, Br, NO2 and OMe were introduced in the benzoyl ring, leading to the derivatives of Series B. In general, Series B was less cytotoxic than Series A, which indicates that the presence of a substituent at benzoyl ring contributes to an improvement in both antimycobacterial activity and toxicity profiles. Conclusion: Compound 4c could be considered a good prototype to be submitted to further structural modifications in the search for new anti-TB drugs, since it is 1.8 times more active than the first line anti-TB drug ethambutol and 0.65 times less active than isoxyl.

The serine hydrolase monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL) is involved in a plethora of pathological conditions, in particular pain and inflammation, various types of cancer, metabolic, neurological and cardiovascular disorders, and is therefore a promising target for drug development. Although a large number of irreversible-acting MAGL inhibitors have been discovered over the past years, there are only few compounds known so far which inhibit the enzyme in a reversible manner. Therefore, much effort is put into the development of novel chemical entities showing reversible inhibitory behavior, which is thought to cause less undesired side effects. To explore a wide range of chemical structures as MAGL binders, we have applied a virtual screening approach by docking small molecules into the crystal structure of human MAGL (hMAGL) and envisaged a library of 45 selected compounds which were then synthesized. Biochemical investigations included the determination of the inhibitory potency on hMAGL and two related hydrolases, i.e. human fatty acid amide hydrolase (hFAAH) and murine cholesterol esterase (mCEase). The most promising candidates from theses analyses, i.e. three ω-quinazolinonylalkyl aryl ureas bearing alkyl spacers of three to five methylene groups, exhibited IC50 values of 20–41 μM and reversible, detergent-insensitive behavior towards hMAGL. Among these compounds, the inhibitor 1-(3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-3-(4-(4-oxo-3,4-dihydroquinazolin-2-yl)butyl)urea (96) was selected for further kinetic characterization, yielding a dissociation constant Ki = 15.4 μM and a mixed-type inhibition with a pronounced competitive component (α = 8.94). This mode of inhibition was further supported by a docking experiment, which suggested that the inhibitor occupies the substrate binding pocket of hMAGL.

A library of novel thiourea-based symmetrical stilbene-triazines (5a-i) was synthesized in an effort to develop new protein tyrosine phosphatase LYP inhibitors. The versatile nature of 2,4,6-trichloro-1,3,5-triazine allows considerable scope for derivatization and hence exploration of structure activity relationships. A convenient and versatile three-step synthetic approach involved the successive replacement of the two chloro groups of 2,4,6-trichloro-1,3,5-triazine by a variety of substituents for structural modification. The newly synthesized derivatives were subjected to tyrosine phosphatase LYP inhibition studies. The results for the in vitro bioassays were promising with the identification of compound 5k and 5l having a 4-methyl and 4-methoxy substituent on phenyl ring, as the lead and selective candidate for LYP inhibition with an IC50 value of 2.1 ± 0.05 μM and 28 ± 3.3 μM, respectively. Moreover, docking studies were carried out to determine the possible interaction sites of thiourea-based stilbene-triazine compounds with Lymphoid Tyrosine Phosphatase. Results of docking computations further ascertained the inhibitory potential of compound 5k and 5l. The results indicated that the compound 5k may serve as a structural model for the design of most potent LYP inhibitors.

Three copper(I) complexes, [CuCl(L)(PPh3)2] [L = FL (1), BL (2) or TL (3)] were prepared from [(PPh3)2Cu(μ-Cl)2Cu(PPh3)] and N-carbamothioylfuran-2-carboxamide (FL), N-carbamothioylbenzamide (BL) or N-carbamothioylthiophene-2-carboxamide (TL) ligands in benzene and four-coordinated tetrahedral copper complexes were well characterized by various spectroscopic techniques (UV/Vis, FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and 31P NMR). The molecular structure of the ligands (FL and BL) and complexes was established from single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies. Copper complexes have been shown to catalyse the one-pot synthesis of imines and quinoxalines. Heterogenized catalyst (4) was prepared by reacting more active complex 3 with polystyrene supported triphenylphosphane, and characterized by elemental analyses, and DRS-UV, FT-IR, ICP-OES, and solid-state NMR techniques. Catalytic activity of the complexes (3 and 4) was tested in the formation of imines from alcohols and amines, and quinoxalines from hydroxy ketones and diamines. Heterogeneity and reusability of catalyst 4 were evaluated, and the catalyst can be reused for four runs without any loss in activity.

A hybrid pharmacophore approach is used to design and synthesize novel chalcone-thiazole hybrid molecules. Herein, thiazole has been hybridized with chalcone to obtain a new class of 5-LOX inhibitors. In vitro biological evaluation showed that most of the compounds were better 5-LOX inhibitors than the positive control, Zileuton (IC50 = 1.05 ± 0.03 μM). The best compounds in the series, namely, 4k, 4n, and 4v (4k: IC50 = 0.07 ± 0.02 μM, 4n: IC50 = 0.08 ± 0.05 μM, 4v: 0.12 ± 0.04 μM) are found to be 10 times more active than previously reported 2-amino thiazole (2m: IC50 = 0.9 ± 0.1 μM) by us. Further, 4k has redox (noncompetitive) while 4n and 4v act through a competitive inhibition mechanism. SAR indicated that the presence of methoxy/methyl either in the vicinity of chalcone or both thiazole and chalcone contributed to the synergistic inhibitory effect.

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.
