A series of 3-(arylalkyl)-2,4,5-trioxoimidazolidine-1-acids (1) was prepared and tested for aldose reductase (AR) and aldehyde reductase (ALR) inhibitory activities. These compounds showed strong inhibitory activity against AR without significant inhibitory activity for ALR. The ratio of IC50(ALR)/IC50(AR) was > 1000 in some compouds. On the basis of pharmacological tests such as the recovery of reduced motor nerve conduction velocity and toxicological profile, 3-(3-nitrobenzyl)-2,4,5-trioxoimidazolidine-1-acid (NZ-314) was selected as the candidate for clinical development.

Ammonium chloride promotes the selective formation of monosubstituted ureas undermicrowaveirradiation. Most nucleophiles, acid-labile functionalities, and protecting groups are well tolerated in this reaction. By avoiding transition metals and mineral acids, this methodology offers a more sustainable alternative for the synthesis of monosubstituted ureas and their analogs.
