Structure activity relationship (SAR) study of benzimidazole scaffold for different biological activities: A mini-review

Synthesis of novel cyano- and amidino-substituted styryl-2-benzimidazoles and benzimidazo[1,2-a]quinolines by condensation reactions and photochemical dehydrocyclization and dehydrohalogenation cyclization is described. Thermal denaturation experiments reveal that cyclic derivatives considerably stabilize DNA double helix, while the effect of their acyclic analogues is negligible. According to the spectroscopic study of the interaction of cyclic derivative 19, we propose intercalation of benzimidazo[1,2-a]quinoline moiety into ct-DNA as a dominant interaction underlying biologically relevant effects of this compound, whereas for its acyclic derivative 11, we propose binding into the minor groove of DNA. All compounds show noticeable antiproliferative effect. Morpholino- and chloro-substituted compound 9 is the most active among all acyclic derivatives. All cyclic compounds were 2- to 10-fold more potent, which is correlated with their property to intercalate into DNA. The most active imidazolyl-substituted compound 19 inhibits topoisomerase II and induces strong G2/M cell cycle arrest, pointing to the impairment in mitotic progression. Its pronounced selectivity toward colon carcinoma cells encourages further development of this compound as a lead.

In this study, 6-[(4-arylidene-2-phenyl-5-oxoimidazolin-1-yl)phenyl]-4,5-dihydro-3(2H)-pyridazinone and 4-[(4-arylidene-2-phenyl-5-oxoimidazolin-1-yl)phenyl]-1(2H)-phthalazinone derivatives were synthesized by reacting 6-(4-aminophenyl)-4,5-dihydro-3(2H)-pyridazinone or 4-(4-aminophenyl)-1(2H)-phthalazinone compound with different 4-arylidene-2-phenyl-5(4H)-oxazolone derivatives. The vasodilator activities of the compounds were examined bothin vitro andin vivo. Some pyridazinone derivatives showed appreciable activity.

Some pyridazinone and phthalazinone derivatives and their vasodilator activities

Discovery of novel anticandidal agents with clarified mechanisms of action, could be a rationalist approach against diverse pathogenic fungal strains due to the rise of resistance to existing drugs. In support to this hypothesis, in this paper, a series of benzimidazole-oxadiazole compounds were synthesized and subjected to antifungal activity evaluation. In vitro activity assays indicated that some of the compounds exhibited moderate to potent antifungal activities against tested Candida species when compared positive control amphotericin B and ketoconazole. The most active compounds 4h and 4p were evaluated in terms of inhibitory activity upon ergosterol biosynthesis by an LC-MS-MS method and it was determined that they inhibited ergosterol synthesis concentration dependently. Docking studies examining interactions between most active compounds and lanosterol 14-α-demethylase also supported the in vitro results.
