Abstract
This review provides comprehensive data on the recent advances in various preparative methods of carbamides/thiocarbamides possessing oxygen/sulfur donor sites and their biological relevance. This review summarizes the numerous protocols for synthesizing carbamides/thiocarbamides from isocyanides, amidines, or amines, carbamates, alkyl halides are described, and also their green synthesis thus considerably expanding the scope of carbamides/thiocarbamides chemistry. Due to its tunable physicochemical and structural features, carbamide/thiocarbamide-based scaffolds are widely used in medicinal chemistry. Nowadays, protein kinase inhibitors are the topic of interest for several drug development initiatives in the pharmaceutical industry, because genetic changes such as mutations, overexpression, translocations, and dysregulation are all involved in the pathogenesis of many disorders. In this review, the compounds comprising carbamide/thiocarbamide pharmacophore have significant efficacy in comparison with the typical antibiotics against many bacterial strains which cause nosocomial infections and have acquired resistance to numerous medicines in the treatment of bacterial infections as well as a variety of ageing-related health issues such as cancer, antioxidants to inhibit uncontrolled growth of cells in the biological system, antifungal agents to inhibit the fungus growth, and neurological dysfunction have been described.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Sulfur Chemistry is an international journal for the dissemination of scientific results in the rapidly expanding realm of sulfur chemistry. The journal publishes high quality reviews, full papers and communications in the following areas: organic and inorganic chemistry, industrial chemistry, materials and polymer chemistry, biological chemistry and interdisciplinary studies directly related to sulfur science.
Papers outlining theoretical, physical, mechanistic or synthetic studies pertaining to sulfur chemistry are welcome. Hence the target audience is made up of academic and industrial chemists with peripheral or focused interests in sulfur chemistry. Manuscripts that truly define the aims of the journal include, but are not limited to, those that offer: a) innovative use of sulfur reagents; b) new synthetic approaches to sulfur-containing biomolecules, materials or organic and organometallic compounds; c) theoretical and physical studies that facilitate the understanding of sulfur structure, bonding or reactivity; d) catalytic, selective, synthetically useful or noteworthy transformations of sulfur containing molecules; e) industrial applications of sulfur chemistry; f) unique sulfur atom or molecule involvement in interfacial phenomena; g) descriptions of solid phase or combinatorial methods involving sulfur containing substrates. Submissions pertaining to related atoms such as selenium and tellurium are also welcome. Articles offering routine heterocycle formation through established reactions of sulfur containing substrates are outside the scope of the journal.
