Title Novel N,N-dimethylbarbituric-pyridinium derivatives as potent urease inhibitors: Synthesis, in vitro, and in silico studies
Type JournalPaper
Keywords Urease inhibitor; N,N-dimethylbarbituric; Molecular docking; Barbituric acid; Helicobacter pylori
Abstract A new series of N,N-dimethylbarbituric-pyridinium derivatives 7a-n was synthesized and evaluated as Helicobacter pylori urease inhibitors. All the synthesized compounds (IC50 = 10.37 ± 1.0–77.52 ± 2.7 μM) were more potent than standard inhibitor hydroxyurea against urease (IC50 = 100.00 ± 0.2 μM). Furthermore, comparison of IC50 values of the synthesized compounds with the second standard inhibitor thiourea (IC50 = 22.0 ± 0.03 µM) revealed that compounds 7a-b and 7f-h were more potent than thiourea. Molecular modeling study of the most potent compounds 7a, 7b, 7f, and 7g was also conducted. Additionally, the druglikeness properties of the synthesized compounds, based on Lipinski rule and other filters, were evaluated.
