Abstract:
In the present study, 28 acyl hydrazones (4-31) of flurbiprofen were synthesized in good to excellent yield by reacting different aromatic aldehydes with the commercially available drug flurbiprofen. The compounds were deduced with the help of different spectroscopic techniques like 1H-NMR and HREI-MS and finally evaluated for in vitro urease inhibitory activity. All of the synthesized products demonstrated good inhibitory activities in the range of IC50 = 18.92 ± 0.61 to 90.75 ± 7.71 μM as compared to standard thiourea (IC50 = 21.14 ± 0.42 μM). Compound 30 was found to be the most active among the series better than the standard thiourea. A structure-activity relationship (SAR) study revealed that the presence of electron-donating groups on the phenyl ring plays a prominent role in the inhibition of the urease enzyme. Moreover, in silico molecular modeling analysis was carried out to study the effect of substituents in synthesized derivatives on the binding interactions with the urease enzyme.

01:01Acid Halides to Carboxylic Acids: Hydrolysis
As shown below, the mechanism involves a nucleophilic attack by water at the carbonyl carbon to form a tetrahedral intermediate. This is followed by the reformation of the carbon–oxygen π bond along with the departure of a halide ion. A final proton transfer step yields carboxylic...

01:29Preparation of Amides
The DCC-promoted synthesis of amides begins with the protonation of DCC by carboxylic acid. The protonation makes it a better acceptor. Next, the addition of carboxylate to the protonated carbodiimide gives a reactive acylating agent.
Subsequently, the amine acts as a nucleophile that attacks the acylating agent to form a tetrahedral intermediate. In the...

Acid-catalyzed hydrolysis:
Hydrolysis of amides under acidic conditions yields carboxylic acids. Since the reaction occurs slowly, hydrolysis requires the conditions of heat.
The mechanism begins with the protonation of the carbonyl oxygen by the acid catalyst. The protonation makes the amide carbonyl carbon more...
