The inhibition of the mammalian soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) is a promising new therapy in the treatment of hypertention and inflammation. The problems of limited water solubility and high melting points commonly displayed by the active 1,3-disubstituted ureas prevent the further development of potent urea-based sEH inhibitors. Therefore, a new class of potent inhibitors of sEH were designed...

in order to evaluate different sources and rates of nitrogen on dry matter yield, concentration and uptake of primary macronutrients (nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium) in forage sorghum (hybrid of speedfeed), three levels of nitrogen (80, 160 and 240 kg n ha-1) from three n sources (urea fertilizer, cattle manure and equal combination of urea fertilizer + cattle manure) and the control (no f...

ammonia is a toxic material for mammalians. it is detoxificated and converted to urea in the urea cycle in liver. each defect in the urea cycle cause increase in blood ammonia level. ornithine transcarbamylase enzyme (otc) is the second enzyme in the urea cycle that exists in mitochondria. otc deficiency is the most common hereditary disorder in the urea cycle. in this study, 45 hyper ammonia p...

A sequential one-pot approach towards N,N'-disubstituted guanidines from N-chlorophthalimide, isocyanides and amines is reported. This strategy provides straightforward and efficient access to diverse guanidines in yields up to 81% through previously unprecedented N-phthaloylguanidines. This protocol also features wide substrate scope and mild conditions.

Abstract Efficient photocatalytic aerobic oxidative dehydrogenation reactions of N,N-disubstituted hydroxylamines to nitrones were developed with an in situ generated photocatalyst based on commercially available 3,6-dichlorotetrazine. This process affords a wide range high yields under mild conditions. In addition, (3+3) cycloaddition between oxyallyl cation precursor and hydroxylamine was als...

Nitrogenous waste excretion in resting dogfish occurred largely (>90 %) as urea-nitrogen (urea-N) efflux across the gills, with a very small urea efflux via the kidney. Ammonia excretion, almost entirely at the gills, accounted for less than 3 % of total nitrogen excretion. Given the extremely high blood urea levels (approximately 640 mmol-N l-1) 'retained' for osmoregulation, and blood ammonia...

TiCl4-promoted aldol reaction of ketones as aldol acceptors followed by elimination of the titanoxy group from the Ti-aldolates affords β,β-disubstituted α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds in a one-pot procedure. The use of additives, such as DMF, N,N,N',N'-tetramethylethylenediamine, and pyridine, in the elimination step was found to be important.

Urea is the major nitrogen (N) form supplied as fertilizer in agriculture, but it is also an important N metabolite in plants. Urea transport and assimilation were investigated in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana). Uptake studies using (15)N-labeled urea demonstrated the capacity of Arabidopsis to absorb urea and that the urea uptake was regulated by the initial N status of the plants. Urea up...
