Abstract
Herein, two title compounds, N-benzoyl-N′-(4′-cyanophenyl)thiourea (1) and N-(4-nitrobenzoyl)-N′-(4′-cyanophenyl)thiourea (2) were synthesized in a high yield, via different applications of aroyl isocyanate and 4-aminobenzonitrile. The structure of the prepared compounds was characterized by elemental analysis and FT-IR, 1H, and 13C-NMR spectroscopic methods. The crystal structure of the title compound 1 was determined by an X-ray single-crystal technique and an intramolecular C=O…H-N hydrogen bond and intermolecular C=S…H-N and C=S…H-C hydrogen interactions, which were observed for the crystal structure. The molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) and the Mulliken atomic charges of title compounds 1 and 2 were theoretically calculated and interpreted. Cyclic voltammetric (CV) experiments for the compounds were performed with the glassy carbon electrode. The reduction in potential values of the different functional groups such as nitro and cyano in title compounds were investigated using CV curves.

Abstract
![]()
Azapeptide
nitriles are postulated to reversibly covalently react
with the active-site cysteine residue of cysteine proteases and form
isothiosemicarbazide adducts. We investigated the interaction of azadipeptide
nitriles with the cathepsin B1 drug target (SmCB1) from Schistosoma
mansoni, a pathogen that causes the global neglected disease
schistosomiasis. Azadipeptide nitriles were superior inhibitors of
SmCB1 over their parent carba analogs. We determined the crystal structure
of SmCB1 in complex with an azadipeptide nitrile and analyzed the
reaction mechanism using quantum chemical calculations. The data demonstrate
that azadipeptide nitriles, in contrast to their carba counterparts,
undergo a change from E- to Z-configuration
upon binding, which gives rise to a highly favorable energy profile
of noncovalent and covalent complex formation. Finally, azadipeptide
nitriles were considerably more lethal than their carba analogs against
the schistosome pathogen in culture, supporting the further development
of this chemotype as a treatment for schistosomiasis.

Abstract
Eight phenyl imidazolinone derivatives were synthesized from N2-(2,4-dimethylphenyl)-N1-methyformamidine (DPMF) via scaffold-hopping method using the ring-closure approach. The prepared compounds were verified using 1H and 13C NMR and HRMS spectroscopies. The structure of compound 3c was confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The mean plane of the phenyl and imidazolinone moieties was almost coplanar with an angle of 8.85(4)°. In the crystal, molecules were interlinked with intermolecular hydrogen bonds (N–H···O and C–H···O), generating a network structure. Additionally, compound 3f displayed the highest insecticidal activity (86.7%) against Plutella xylostella at 600 mg/L, which was significantly higher than the insecticidal activity (23.0%) of DPMF. Also, compound 3d displayed good fungicidal activities against Phytophthora capsici, Phytophthora sojae, and Phytophthora infestans. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed to explain the insecticidal and fungicidal activities of phenyl imidazolidin-2-one derivatives, especially potent compounds 3f and 3d. Moreover, the binding modes of compounds 3a–h and DPMF against octopamine receptor of Plutella xylostella were studied by homology modeling and molecular docking. Therefore, a preliminary structure–activity relationship (SAR) was derived and discussed. These results encourage the exploration of novel insecticides and fungicides based on DPMF.
