ureas
Urine-derived chemical compounds
Ureas are compounds derived from or related to urea, a nitrogen-containing substance found in mammalian urine and widely used in fertilizers and industrial chemistry.
The plural typically appears in scientific contexts discussing different urea derivatives or types: substituted ureas, cyclic ureas.
In biochemistry, ureas may refer to measurements across multiple samples or conditions.
