Decoding Urease Inhibition: A Comprehensive Review of Inhibitor Scaffolds
Representative functional groups known for urease inhibition are reviewed within diverse scaffolds using structure–activity analyses to identify features associated with high inhibitory activity. Urease is a metalloenzyme produced by a wide range of organisms and plays a critical role in nitrogen microbial metabolism by catalyzing the hydrolysis of ...

5-(2-Methylsulfanylethyl)-3-prop-2-enyl-2-sulfanylideneimidazolidin-4-one
An amino acid-derived 2-thiohydantoin, 5-(2-methylsulfanylethyl)-3-prop-2-enyl-2-sulfanylideneimidazolidin-4-one, obtained from l-methionine, was synthesized in a two-step reaction protocol with allyl isothiocyanate.

Investigation of Novel Isatinylhydantoin Derivatives as Potential Anti‐Kinetoplastid Agents
A series of isatinylhydantoin derivatives were synthesized and investigated for antileishmanial and antitrypanosomal activities in vitro and in vivo. The derivative 5 was identified with higher leishmanicidal activity than the clinical drug amphotericin B while 4b was uncovered as in vitro trypanocidal hit against T. congolense parasite.

1,2‐Diaza‐1,3‐butadienes, also called azoalkenes, have received considerable attention as key synthons for constructing various heterocyclic scaffolds. This minireview summarizes the contribution of our group in this field over the period from 2009 to the present, focusing on the role of the azoene building block in forming the heterocyclic structures.

Chiral Quaternary Ammonium Salt‐Catalyzed Enantioselective Addition Reactions of Hydantoins
Abstract We herein report a protocol for the asymmetric 1,4‐addition of hydantoins to various Michael acceptors by utilizing Cinchona alkaloid‐based chiral quaternary ammonium salt catalysts. Various products were obtained with moderate to good enantioselectivities and accompanying computational investigations helped to identify key interactions ...

Dopaminergic neuronal death via necroptosis in Parkinson's disease: A review of the literature
We reviewed the current literature on the potential role of necroptosis, a recently characterized regulated cell death mechanism, in Parkinson's disease (PD) pathogenesis. We summarized findings from studies on necroptosis in PD preclinical models and PD human tissue samples, discussing how manipulating necroptosis might open a novel therapeutic ...

Abstract Immunoisolation of pancreatic islets in alginate microcapsules allows for transplantation in the absence of immunosuppression but graft survival time is still limited. This limited graft survival is caused by a combination of tissue responses to the encapsulating biomaterial and islets. A significant loss of islet cells occurs in the immediate

The exposure systems of glycidol‐related chemicals on the formation of glycidol‐hemoglobin adducts diHOPrVal were compared. DiHOPrVal formation was observed using several chemicals other than glycidol with different behaviors in vitro and in vivo. However, in both cases, the amount of diHOPrVal produced was very small compared with glycidol. This study

Synthesis and molecular modeling studies of new thiohydantoin-triazole hybrids as anticancer agents
The targeted thiohydantoin-triazole hybrid compounds 5a-d and 9a-d were synthesized by the copper-catalyzed click reaction of 2-azido-N-arylacetamides 3a-d with the appropriate alkynes, thiohydantoin moiety linked to a propargyl group.
