Twenty-one novel urea derivatives were synthesized and their structures characterized by mass, NMR, IR, and UV spectroscopy. These compounds were evaluated for their antiproliferative profile against human PC-3 (prostate) and NCI-H460 (lung) cancer cell lines. Among them, compound 21 N-(3-nitrophenyl)- N′-(1-phenylethyl)urea was found to be active against both PC-3 (IC 50 ± SEM: 20.13 ± 0.91 μM) and NCI-H460 (GI 50: 22 ± 2.6 μM) cell lines; hence has the potential to be further studied as anticancer agent. These compounds were also investigated for their ability to inhibit urease, β-glucuronidase, and phosphodiesterase enzymes. N-(2,6-Dimethylphenyl)-N′-(4′-nitrophenyl)urea (1) demonstrated 90 % inhibition of β-glucuronidase enzyme (IC50 ± SEM: 3.38 ± 0.043 μM).

Twenty one (21) 1,3-disubstituted urea derivatives were screened for their antiglycating potential and some of them displayed promising activity. Compound N-butyl-N'-(4-nitrophenyl)urea (6) and Nisopropyl-N'-(4-nitrophenyl)urea (18) exhibited excellent activity and could be investigated in search of medicines treating diabetes and associated complications.
