a phosgene-free synthesis of symmetrical n,n'-disubstituted urea by the reaction of aromatic and aliphatic primary amines and urea promoted by  microwave irradiation in the presence of a suitable energy-transfer solvent such as n-n-dimethylacetamide is described.

Two dinickel mimics, [LNi2(DMF)4](ClO4)3 () and [L'Ni2(CH3CN)4](ClO4)3 (), for the active site of urease supported by a disubstituted benzoate polydentate ligand were synthesized and fully characterized, subsequently addition of urea afforded two urea adducts, [LNi2(urea)4](ClO4)3 () and [L'Ni2(urea)4](ClO4)3 ().

Vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 (VEGFR-2) kinase inhibition is a well-established strategy to promptly tackle tumor growth by suppression of angiogenesis. We report herein a series of 5-anilinoquinazoline derivatives substituted by 1,3-disubstituted urea. All the newly synthesized compounds described were evaluated for VEGFR-2 kinase inhibition and antiproliferative activity again...

The inhibition of the soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) is a promising new therapy in the treatment of cardiovascular, inflammation and other disorders. A piperazino functionality as the tertiary pharmacophore remarkably improved the drug-like profile of the 1,3-disubstituted urea sEH inhibitors. However, the potency was more dependent on the overall best balance of the hydrophilicity and lipophi...

A 192-member library of N,N'-disubstituted urea inhibitors was synthesized by a solid-phase method. The ureas were tested for their inhibitory activities against recombinant human soluble epoxide hydrolase. Simple carbocyclic or para/meta-substituted phenyl groups showed inhibition potencies that were equal to or greater than adamantane-based sEH inhibitors, while the presence of bulky or ioniz...

Dental caries occur as a result of disequilibrium between acid producing pathogenic bacteria and alkali generating commensal bacteria within a dental biofilm (dental plaque). Streptococcus mutans has been reported as a primary cariogenic pathogen associated with dental caries. Emergence of multidrug resistant as well as fluoride resistant strains of S. mutans due to over use of various antibiot...

Additive engineering in perovskites precursor solution is one of the most effective methods to fabricate high-quality perovskite films. Finding proper additives for morphology improvement and passivation defects critical highly efficient stable solar cells (PSCs). In this work, 1,3-disubstituted urea are employed study effect different substituents at −NH moiety on quality layer device performa...

In this work we demonstrate the ability of a multifaceted N,N'-disubstituted urea to selectively recognize fluoride anion (F(-)) among other halides. This additional function is now added to its already reported organocatalytic and organogelator properties. The signaling mechanism relies on the formation of a charge-transfer (CT) complex between the urea-based sensor and F¯ in the ground state ...

In the methanol solvate of the title 1:1 cocrystal, C(29)H(28)F(6)N(4)OS·C(5)H(9)NO(2)·CH(4)O, the l-proline mol-ecule exists as a zwitterion. In the crystal, the disubstituted thio-urea, l-proline and methanol mol-ecules are linked by N-H⋯O and N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds, forming a two-dimensional array in the ab plane.
