Synthesis, in vitro urease inhibitory potential and molecular docking study of benzofuran-based-thiazoldinone analogues

In continuation of our work on enzyme inhibition, the benzofuran-based-thiazoldinone analogues ( 1–14 ) were synthesized, characterized by HREI-MS, 1 H and 13 CNMR and evaluated for urease inhibition. Compounds 1–14 exhibited a varying degree of urease inhibitory activity with IC 50 values between 1.2 ± 0.01 to 23.50 ± 0.70 µM when compared with standard drug thiourea having IC 50 value 21.40 ± 0.21 µM. Compound 1, 3, 5 and 8 showed significant...
