A series of N-[{2-(4-methylpiperidin-1-yl)-6-(trifluoromethyl)-pyridin-3-yl}methyl] N'-(6,6-fused heterocyclic) ureas have been investigated as hTRPV1 antagonists. Among them, compound 15 showed highly potent TRPV1 antagonism to capsaicin, with Ki(ant)=0.2nM, as well as antagonism to other activators, and it was efficacious in a pain model. A docking study of 15 with our hTRPV1 homology model indicates that there is crucial hydrogen bonding between the ring nitrogen and the receptor, contributing to its potency.

Reactions of cyclic thioureas (1,3,4,5-tetramethylimidazol-2-thione and 1,3-dimethylimidazolidin-2-thione) and ureas (1,3,4,5-tetramethylimidazol-2-one and 1,3-dimethylimidazolidin-2-one) with an isolable dialkylsilylene were examined. In these reactions, cyclic thioureas served as sulfur and NHC (N-heterocyclic carbene) sources, and the corresponding silanethione and NHC-derived products formed via silanethione-NHC complexes. Reactions of cyclic ureas with the silylene afforded a new NHC and an isolable azomethine ylide.

The pernicious parasitism exhibited by root parasitic weeds such as and poses substantial peril to agricultural productivity and global food security. This deleterious phenomenon hinges upon the targeted induction of the signaling molecule strigolactones (SLs). Consequently, the identification of prospective SL antagonists holds significant promise in the realm of mitigating the infection of these pernicious weeds.

We reported an efficient three-component reaction to access new spiro heterocycles through the annulation reactions of isatins, substituted ureas, and under normal laboratory conditions, which is another example of isatins being used to build spiro compounds by the ring-opening and recyclization processes. The wide range of substrates, simple operation, normal experimental conditions, and high yields make the approach of high practical value.

Background: During the past two decades, many nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT) inhibitors were prepared and tested because this enzyme is overexpressed in pancreatic cancer. Although FK866 is a well-known, strong NAMPT inhibitor, it suffers severe drawbacks.
Objective: Our work aimed to synthesize efficient NAMPT inhibitors featuring better pharmacokinetic properties than the pyridine-containing FK866.

Benzo-fused nitrogen heterocycles are common features of bioactive molecules, and the enantioselective synthesis of their substituted analogues is an important goal. In this paper we demonstrate a practical and mechanistically intriguing approach to the enantioselective synthesis of 1-arylbenzazepines and their analogues. The reaction sequence starts with an asymmetric migratory ring expansion of indoline, tetrahydroquinoline, or tetrahydrobenzazepine ureas on treatment with a chiral lithium amide base.
