HL-40, N-(4-(1-(4-chlorine indazole)) phenyl)-N-(4-chloro-3-three fluorine methyl phenyl) urea, is a novel diarylurea derivative. In this study, we investigated the kinases activities and binding constants, pharmacokinetics of HL-40, and then evaluated its anticancer efficacy by both in vitro and in vivo methods. Enzyme activities assays in vitro were employed to identify eight candidate kinase targets. The competition binding assays against eight candidate kinases suggested that HL-40 showed strong affinity to c-Kit, PDGFRβ and FLT3. The pharmacokinetic studies in Wistar rats showed that HL-40 could maintain high compound concentration and long residence time in the blood circulation. HL-40 possessed strong inhibition activities against 12 human cancer cells. Meanwhile, HL-40 effectively delayed the growth of cancer xenografts without significant toxicity to mice. Based on these in vitro and in vivo results, we suggested that HL-40 might be developed as a potential multi-kinases inhibitor for cancer treatment.

Cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy are highly susceptible to infections owing to their compromised immune system, which also promotes cancer progression through inflammation. Thus, this study aimed to develop novel chemotherapeutic agents with both anticancer and antimicrobial properties. A series of diarylurea derivatives based on pyridazinone scaffolds were designed, synthesized, and characterized as surrogates for sorafenib.

The emergence and global spread of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) pose a serious threat to public health, underscoring the urgent need for novel antibacterial interventions. Here, we screened 18 newly synthesized N,N'-diarylurea derivatives to identify compounds with activity against MRSA. Our investigations led to the discovery of a small molecule, SCB-24, which exhibited promising antimicrobial activity against MRSA USA300.

The goal of the current study was to prepare two new homologous series of N,N'-diarylurea and N,N'-diarylthiourea derivatives to investigate the therapeutic effects of these derivatives on the methodologies of inhibition directed on human MCF-7 cancer cells. The molecular structures of the prepared derivatives were successfully revealed through elemental analyses, H-NMR, C-NMR and FT-IR spectroscopy. The cytotoxic results showed that Diarylthiourea (compound ) was the most effective in suppressing MCF-7 cell growth when compared to all other prepared derivatives, with the most effective IC value (338.

The synthesis of biaryl compounds by the transition-metal free coupling of arenes is an important contemporary challenge, aiming to avoid the toxicity and cost profiles associated with the metal catalysts commonly used in the synthesis of these pharmaceutically relevant motifs. In this paper, we describe an electrochemical approach to the synthesis of biaryls in which aniline derivatives are coupled through the formation and reduction of a temporary urea linkage. The conformational alignment of the arenes in the N,N'-diaryl urea intermediates promotes C-C bond formation following single-electron reduction.

Unlabelled: Lung cancer is one of the most common malignancies worldwide. Non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for more than 80% of lung cancers, shows chemotherapy resistance, metastasis, and relapse. The phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase (PI3K)/Akt pathway has been implicated in the carcinogenesis and disease progression of NSCLC, suggesting that it may be a promising therapeutic target for cancer therapy.
