Highly progressive neurodegenerative disorder generally known as Alzheimer's disease (AD), is a type of dementia, which is very common in elderly. The most common symptoms may include loss of memory along with disturbed behavioral and cognitive functions. Until now, only 4 cholinesterase (ChE) inhibitors are approved by FDA for symptomatic treatment of AD. Aroyl thiourea derivatives are well known bioactive organic molecules containing carbonyl and thiocarbonyl functional groups. Here, total 14 different thiourea derivatives (3a-3n) were synthesized and characterized by NMR, FTIR and X-ray crystallographic techniques. The synthesized compounds displayed varying inhibition activities on both acetylcholineterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE) enzymes. Among all compounds, 3b and 3e were potent inhibitors of AChE (IC ± SEM = 8.92 ± 1.03 μM) and BuChE (IC ± SEM = 6.96 ± 0.961 μM) respectively. Enzyme kinetic studies showed that 3b exhibited uncompetitive binding with AChE while 3e demonstrated a mixed inhibition of BuChE. Molecular docking studies on AChE showed that 3b got binding interaction with Trp86 and Tyr337 while 3e showed binding affinity with Trp82 and His438 when docked with BuChE. The obtained results indicated that these thiourea derivatives could be considered as potential candidates to treat AD.

CO capture from the flue gas is a promising approach to mitigate global warming. However, regulating the carbon-based adsorbent in terms of textural and surface modification is still a challenge. To overcome this issue, the present study depicts the development of cost-effective and high-performance CO adsorbents derived from petroleum coke, an industrial by-product, using a two-step process involving thiourea modification and KOH activation.

This study explores the green extraction of phenolic antioxidants from fruit using choline-chloride-based deep eutectic solvents (DESs) as an eco-friendly alternative to conventional solvents. Sixteen DESs, prepared by combining choline chloride with various hydrogen bond donors, were characterized for their physical properties, including viscosity, polarity, and pH, and applied to extract phenolics from . High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) quantified key phenolic compounds, including neochlorogenic and chlorogenic acid, quercetin derivatives, and cyanidin derivatives, as well as total phenolic acids, flavanols, and anthocyanins.

2-Thiohydantoin derivatives, including different substitutions at N-1 and C-5 (5-methyl-, 5-isopropyl-, 1-acetyl-5-methyl-, and 1-acetyl-5-isopropyl-) (1-4, respectively), were synthesized by the known literature methods. In these synthetic pathways, it was reported that enantiomerically pure 2-thiohydantions were obtained in the absence of any solvent via the reaction of L-amino acids with thiourea (1&2) and via the reaction of L-amino acids with NHSCN and acetic anhydride (3&4). However, in this study, in contrary to the previous literature studies, racemic mixtures of 2-thiohydantoins were obtained although the same synthetic methods were used.

Gray mold disease is caused by B. cinerea, which could severely reduce the production yield and quality of tomatoes. To explore more potential fungicides with new scaffolds for controlling the gray mold disease, ten aldehydes-thiourea derivatives were designed, synthesized and assayed for inhibitory activity against three plant pathogenic fungi.
