Abstract

Based on the structural homology with urea, the substrate of urease, a variety of cyclic urea analogues viz. barbiturate, imidazolidinone and imidazolone derivatives were tested for their effect on jack bean urease in 50mM phosphate buffer, pH=7.0. These compounds were found to inhibit jack bean urease in a concentration dependent manner IC50 varies from 0.6 mM to 3.5mM with no further time dependent changes in the reaction velocities. Evaluation of the kinetic data from Lineweaver-Burk plots and Dixon plots revealed that the analyzed compounds act as reversibile competitive inhibitors of the plant enzyme.
