1,3-Disubstituted ureas possessing a piperidyl moiety have been synthesized to investigate their structure-activity relationships as inhibitors of the human and murine soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH). Oral administration of 13 1-aryl-3-(1-acylpiperidin-4-yl)urea inhibitors in mice revealed substantial improvements in pharmacokinetic parameters over previously reported 1-adamantylurea based inhi...

We have identified two subseries of 2,6-disubstituted quinolines, consisting of 6-amide and 6-urea derivatives, which are characterized by fungicidal activity against Candida albicans with minimal fungicidal concentration (MFC) values < 15 µM. The 6-amide derivatives displayed the highest fungicidal activity against C. albicans, in particular compounds 1, 5 and 6 characterized by MFC values of ...

Two independent mol-ecules (A and B) comprise the asymmetric unit of the title compound, C18H21N3O3. The urea moiety is disubstituted with one amine being linked to a phenyl ring, which is twisted out of the plane of the CN2O urea core [dihedral angles = 25.57 (11) (A) and 29.13 (10)° (B)]. The second amine is connected to an imine (E conformation), which is linked in turn to an ethane bridge t...

The success of the first approved kinase inhibitor imatinib has spurred great interest in the development of type II inhibitors targeting the inactive DFG-out conformation, wherein the Phe of the DFG motif at the start of the activation loop points into the ATP binding site. Nevertheless, kinase inhibitors launched so far are heavily biased toward type I inhibitors targeting the active DFG-in c...

Soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) is a therapeutic target for treating hypertension and inflammation. 1,3-Disubstituted ureas functionalized with an ether group are potent sEH inhibitors. However, their relatively low metabolic stability leads to poor pharmacokinetic properties. To improve their bioavailability, we investigated the effect of incorporating various polar groups on the ether functio...

In the title compound, C(15)H(9)F(4)N(3)O(2)S, the N,N'-disubstituted thio-urea fragment adopts a cis,trans geometry, stabilized by an intra-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bond to the carbonyl O atom of the tetra-fluoro-benzoyl group. The central thio-urea group makes dihedral angles of 47.79 (7) and 35.54 (8)° with the two aromatic rings. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked via N-H⋯O and N-H⋯S hyd...

The synthesis and biological evaluation of new types of N,N′-disubstituted thiourea and urea derivatives as inhibitors of both neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) are described. These compounds have been designed by reduction of the carbonyl group in the thiourea and urea kynurenamine derivatives 3 previously synthesized by our research group. The sy...

The title dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) solvate, C(17)H(18)N(4)O(3)·C(2)H(6)OS, shows the disubstituted urea derivative to adopt an almost planar geometry (r.m.s. deviation for non-H atoms = 0.132 Å); the mol-ecule has non-crystallographic twofold mol-ecular symmetry. This conformation is stabilized by two intra-molecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds. The components of the crystal are connected by N-H⋯O hy...

The asymmetric Pictet–Spengler reaction (PSR) with aldehydes is well known. However, PSR involving ketones as electrophilic partners far-less developed. We report herein the first examples of catalytic enantioselective tryptamines α-ketoamides. A new class easily accessible prolyl-urea organocatalysts bearing a single H-bond donor function catalyzes title to afford 1,1-disubstituted tetrahydro-...

A fast and efficient protocol for the synthesis of N,N'-disubstituted urea derivatives from alkyl halides and primary or secondary amines has been developed. The synthetic pathway combines nucleophilic substitutions and a Staudinger-aza-Wittig reaction in the presence of polymer-bound diphenylphosphine under 14 bar of CO2 pressure and has been performed in a one-pot two-step process. The protoc...
