Abstract

In order to seek a urease inhibitor more potent than hydroxyurea (1), its alkyl-or phenyl- substituted derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for their effect on the jack bean urease. Of 16 compounds tested, m-methyl-(10) and m-methoxy-phenyl substituted hydroxyurea (13) showed the most potent inhibitory activities against the enzyme.
