A novel series of benzimidazole derivatives with methoxylated aryl groups was designed and synthesized as molecules with potential cytotoxic activity. In vitro cytotoxic activity over HCT-116 cells showed that N-(benzimidazothiazolone)acetamides 11a, 11b and 11c were found to be the most cytotoxic compounds compared camptothecin (CPT). The tested compounds had a dual topoisomerase I-β (Topo I-β) and tubulin inhibiting activities when compared to CPT and Podophyllotoxin (Podo) where, compounds l0a, l0b, 11a and 11b exhibited a potent inhibitory activity on Topo I-β enzyme in nano-molar concentration, on the other hand, compounds 12b and 13b exhibited the best inhibitory activity β-tubulin polymerization. Results of the cell cycle analysis as well as the results of annexin-V on HCT-116 cells showed that benzimidazothiazoles 12b and 13b had a pro-apoptotic activity higher than CPT by 1.33- and 1.30-folds, respectively. Moreover, the concentration of p53, Bax/Bcl-2 ratio and caspase 3/7 increased in compounds l0b, 11b, l2b, 13b, especially, compounds 11b and 13b exhibited an increased level of these mediators than CPT. Finally, compound 11b regulated the radiosensitizing activity of the HCT-116 cells by modulating the chromosomal instability.

The number of deaths or critical health issues is a threat in the infection caused by Dengue virus, which complicates the situation, as only symptomatic treatment is the current solution. In this regard we have targeted the dengue protease NS2B-NS3 that is responsible for the replication. The series was designed with the help of molecular modeling approach using docking protocols. The series comprised of different scaffolds viz. cinnamic acid analogs (CA1–CA11), chalcone (C1–C10) and their molecular hybrids (Lik1–Lik10), analogs of benzimidazole (BZ1-BZ5), mercaptobenzimidazole (BS1-BS4), and phenylsulfanylmethylbenzimidazole (PS1-PS4). Virtual screening of various natural phytoconstituents was employed to determine the interactions of designed analogs with the residues of catalytic triad in the active site of NS2B-NS3. We have further synthesized the selected leads. The synthesized analogs were evaluated for the cytotoxicity and NS2B-NS3 protease inhibition activity and compared with known anti-dengue natural phytoconstituent quercetin as the standard. CA2, BZ1, and BS2 were found to be more potent and efficacious than the standard quercetin as evident from the protease inhibition assay.
