Urease-IN-16 (compound 4e) is a urease inhibitor, with an IC50 value of 132 μmol/L. Urease-IN-16 can coordinate with the nickel atom through the oxygen atoms of carbonyl or boronic acid groups. Urease-IN-16 shows great potential as an additive in the development of efficient fertilizers and medical applications[1].
