The light absorption behaviors of the synthesized compounds (3-6) were studied by UV-Vis spectroscopy in the different concentration and different solvents were studied also. In addition, the urease inhibition activities of the synthesized compounds were also investigated. Among the synthesized molecules, compound 5 showed the best inhibitory effect against jack bean urease with IC50 values of 0.0034 +/- 0.0010 mu M. (C) 2018 Elsevier B.V.
