Synthesis, antifungal and nematocidal activities of thioureines with an aminoester sequence

Facile one-pot synthesis of thio and selenourea derivatives: A new class of potent urease inhibitors

A facile, one-pot synthesis of thio and selenourea derivatives from amines using tetrathiomolybdate 1 and tetraselenotungstate 2 as sulfur and selenium transfer reagents, respectively, is reported. The compounds were tested for their activity as urease inhibitors and some of the compounds showed potent activity in the nanomolar range towards jack bean urease.

Synthesis and antifungal activities of phenylenedithioureas

A total of 20 new phenylenedithiourea derivatives was synthesized by reaction of phenylenediisothiocyanates with aromatic amines as aminobenzoic, aminosalicylic acid and their derivatives. Their chemical structures were confirmed by elemental analysis, IR spectrometry and 1H NMR. The compounds were screened for in vitro antifungal, antibacterial activities and some of them have strong antifungal activities comparable to the activity observed for ketoconazole.
