The most valuable parameters of these compounds are melting point and solubility. Higher melting point leads to lower bioavailability and for most of the compounds investigated before it was very high. Usage of isocyanates containing 1,3-dimethyladamantane fragment will significantly decrease the melting point, improve solubility and therefore improve bioavailability of 1,3-disubstituted ureas and other biologically active compounds produced on its base. This article presents new 1,3-disubstituted ureas and biureas synthesized by the authors.展开更多

The results showed that the existence of urea was the main reason for the denaturation and solubility of soy protein in the system, and the effects were more obvious with increasing of urea concentration in solutions. Suitably dissolution temperature and time contributed to the solubility of soy proteins.展开更多
