Abstract

Abstract A simple and practical method is described for the synthesis of novel 5-arylidene derivatives of barbituric and thiobarbituric acid. 2-Formylbenzoic acids reacted easily with (thio)barbituric acids in the presence of p-toluenesulfonic acid (p-TsOH) in MeOH/EtOH to obtain the title compound in good yields. Then, their urease inhibitory activity were evaluated in vitro and compared with hydroxyurea as the reference drug. © 2015 Iranian Chemical Society.
