| Popis: | Background: Thiourea is a classical urease inhibitor which is usually used as a positive control, and many N,N'-disubstituted thioureas have been determined as urease inhibitors. However, due to steric hindrance, N,N'-disubstituted thiourea motif could not bind urease as thiourea. On the contrary, N-monosubstituted thiourea with a tiny thiourea motif could theoretically bind into the active pocket as thiourea. Objective: A series of N-monosubstituted aroylthioureas were designed and synthesized for evaluation as urease inhibitors. Methods: Urease inhibition was determined by the indophenol method and IC50 values were calculated using computerized linear regression analysis of quantal log dose-probit functions. The kinetic parameters were estimated via surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and by nonlinear regression analysis based on the mixed type inhibition model derived from Michaelis-Menten kinetics. Results: Compounds b2, b11, and b19 reversibly inhibited urease with a mixed mechanism, and showed excellent potency against both cell-free urease and urease in the intact cell, with IC50 values being 90- to 450-fold and 5- to 50-fold lower than the positive control acetohydroxamic acid, respectively. The most potent compound b11 showed an IC50 value of 0.060 ± 0.004μM against cell-free urease, which bound to urea binding site with a very low KD value (0.420±0.003nM) and a very long residence time (6.7 min). Compound b11 was also demonstrated to have very low cytotoxicity to mammalian cells. Conclusion: The results revealed that N-monosubstituted aroylthioureas bound to the active site of urease as expected, and represent a new class of urease inhibitors for the development of potential therapeutics against infections caused by urease-containing pathogens. |
