New imidazolidine-2,4,5-triones with norabietic, nordehydroabietic, and adamantane substituents were synthesized by reacting oxalyl chloride and the corresponding ureas, providing good yields. Bioisosteric replacement of the ureide group with a parabanic acid fragment made it possible to increase the solubility of compounds and conduct biological studies. The compounds inhibit the DNA repair enzyme tyrosyl-DNA phosphodiesterase 1 in submicromolar concentrations. Cytotoxic concentrations were also studied on the glioblastoma cell line SNB19.
