- Design, synthesis, anticancer activity, molecular docking and ADME studies of novel methylsulfonyl indole-benzimidazoles in comparison with ethylsulfonyl counterparts
-
Cancer poses a world-wide healthcare problem, demanding selective and effective therapy protocols. To address that, a vast amount of therapeutic candidates are being investigated in the field of medicinal chemistry. Accordingly, indole-benzimidazole structures have recently gained considerable interest because of their anticancer properties and estrogen receptor (ER) modulatory actions. In this study, novel methylsulfonyl indole-benzimidazole derivatives have been synthesized upon substitution of respectively the first (R1) and fifth (R2) positions of benzimidazole and indole groups. Structure and activity relationships were then studied via1H NMR, 13C NMR, mass spectral and in silico docking analyses, as well as cell viability measurements. We found that the compounds exhibited substantial affinity levels towards ER alpha (ERα). In addition, the correlation analysis of cytotoxicity profiles between ethyl- and methyl-sulfonyl indole-benzimidazoles revealed a collection of effective and consistent R1 and R2 substitutions. However, for some candidate derivatives, distinctive cytotoxicity levels and varying viability versus ERα affinity correlations were observable across the studies, suggesting that the sulfonyl side chain modifications themselves can also influence the ERα binding levels. These results demonstrated that our novel methylsulfonyl indole-benzimidazole derivatives, similar to their ethylsulfonyl counterparts, exhibit anticancer effects with potential estrogen receptor modulatory actions.

- Preparation method of 2-(methyl sulphonyl)-10H-phenothiazine
-
The invention relates to a preparation method of 2-(methyl sulphonyl)-10H-phenothiazine and belongs to the technical field of medical intermediate preparation. According to the method, parachlorobenzenesulfonyl chloride and sodium salt of 2-bromothiophenol are taken as starting materials, two novel intermediates M1 and M3 not reported are involved, ideal schemes different from related references are explored in all experimental procedures, and particularly the cyclization process for synthesis of the final product 2-(methyl sulphonyl)-10H-phenothiazine completely breaks through various restrictions in literatures. The method has the advantages that the whole process is simple in step, convenient to operate, mild in reaction condition and easy to control, product yield in all the steps is high and the like, thereby being suitable for industrial production and having high value in use and social and economic benefits.
