AI Article Synopsis
- * An efficient automated method was developed to quickly synthesize a library of these urea/thiourea compounds, achieving yields between 50-80%.
- * Most newly synthesized compounds showed significant antimalarial effects, with the best 10 being 30-65 times more effective than the existing drug azithromycin against all tested malaria strains.
Article Abstract
A series of 15-membered azalide urea and thiourea derivatives has been synthesized and evaluated for their in vitro antimalarial activity against chloroquine-sensitive (D6), chloroquine/pyremethamine resistant (W2) and multidrug resistant (TM91C235) strains of Plasmodium falciparum. We have developed an effective automated synthetic strategy for the rapid synthesis of urea/thiourea libraries of a macrolide scaffold. Compounds have been synthesized using a solution phase strategy with overall yields of 50-80%. Most of the synthesized compounds had inhibitory effects. The top 10 compounds were 30-65 times more potent than azithromycin, an azalide with antimalarial activity, against all three strains.

In response to the challenges of food spoilage and water pollution caused by pathogenic microorganisms, CeO/g-CN nanocomposites were synthesized via one-step calcination using thiourea and urea as precursors. Steady-state photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy analysis demonstrated that 8 wt% CeO/g-CN exhibited superior electron-hole separation efficiency. Quantitative antimicrobial assays demonstrated that the nanocomposites displayed enhanced bactericidal activity against , , and .

Cellulose is one of the most abundant biopolymers in nature. Despite being the subject of research in various fields, it is not as famous as chitosan in catalyst design. Herein, a novel thiourea-functionalized cellulose (CTU-6) was synthesized as a robust hydrogen bonding catalyst with the degree of substitution (DS) of 0.

In this work, we developed (thio)ureido-calix[4]arene derivatives and thoroughly explored their anion-binding properties in acetonitrile. A series of anions, including important inorganic ones (Cl, HSO , HPO , and HPO ) and several ever-present carboxylates (acetate, benzoate, and fumarate), were studied. All systems were investigated by several methods (NMR, ITC, and UV) used in a synergistic fashion, providing their comprehensive thermodynamic description.
