- Synthesis and biological evaluation of substituted N-(2-(1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)phenyl)cinnamides as tubulin polymerization inhibitors
-
A new series of N-(2-(1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)phenyl) cinnamides was prepared and evaluated for their in vitro cytotoxic activity using various cancer cell lines viz. A549 (human non-small cell lung cancer), MDA-MB-231 (human triple negative breast cancer), B16-F10 (mouse melanoma), BT-474 (human breast cancer), and 4 T1 (mouse triple negative breast cancer). In the series of tested compounds, 12h showed potent cytotoxic activity against non-small cell lung cancer cell line with IC50 value of 0.29 ± 0.02 μM. The cytoxicity of most potent compound 12h was also tested on NRK-52E (normal rat kidney epithelial cell line) and showed less cytotoxicity compared to cancer cells. Tubulin polymerization assay indicated that the compound 12h was able to impede the cell division by inhibiting tubulin polymerization. Moreover, molecular docking study also suggested the binding of 12h at the colchicine-binding site of the tubulin protein. Cell cycle analysis revealed that the compound 12h arrests G2/M phase. In addition, 12h induced apoptosis in A549 cell lines was evaluated by various staining studies like acridine orange, DAPI, analysis of mitochondrial membrane potential, annexin V-FITC, and DCFDA assays.

- Design, synthesis, antifungal activity and 3D-QSAR study of novel pyrazole carboxamide and niacinamide derivatives containing benzimidazole moiety
-
A series of novel pyrazole carboxamide and niacinamide derivatives containing a benzimidazole moiety were designed and synthesized as antifungal candidate agents. All target compounds were characterized by FTIR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, HRMS and elemental analysis techniques. The structure of compound T1 was further confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The antifungal activities of the target compounds were evaluated in vitro against four phytopathogenic fungi (namely Botrytis cinerea, Rhizoctonia solani, Fusarium graminearum and Alternaria solani) by the mycelium growth inhibition method. The bioassay results indicated that some of the compounds exhibited good antifungal activity against B. cinerea at 100 μg ML?1 compared to other three fungi. In order to better explore the structure-activity relationship (SAR), the EC50 values of target compounds against B. cinerea were measured and assessed. Subsequently, a 3D quantitative structure-activity relationship (3D-QSAR) study was carried out using the comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) technique based on the inhibitory activities of tested compounds against B. cinerea. Molecular modelling results revealed fine predictive ability with cross-validated q2 and non-cross-validated r2 values of 0.578 and 0.850, respectively.

- Nickel-Catalyzed Aerobic Oxidative Isocyanide Insertion: Access to Benzimidazoquinazoline Derivatives via a Sequential Double Annulation Cascade (SDAC) Strategy
-
An efficient protocol for the synthesis of quinazoline derivatives through nickel-catalyzed ligand-/base-free oxidative isocyanide insertion under aerobic conditions with intramolecular bis-amine nucleophiles has been developed. A one-pot sequential double annulation cascade (SDAC) strategy involving an opening of isatoic anhydride and annulation to benzimidazole and further nickel-catalyzed intramolecular isocyanide insertion has also been demonstrated. The method is operationally simple to implement with a wide variety of substrates and represents a new approach for multiple C-N bond formations. The methodology has been successfully applied to the syntheses of hitherto unreported imidazo-fused benzimidazoquinazolines via a deprotection-GBB reaction sequence. Further, a florescence study reveals the potential of the present strategy for the discovery of highly fluorescent probes.

- Antimicrobial screening of novel synthesized benzimidazole nucleus containing 4-oxo-thiazolidine derivatives
-
As a part of systematic investigation of synthesis, characterization and antimicrobial screening of some novel 3-(2-(6-methyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl) phenyl)-2-(aryl)thiazolidin-4-ones (3a-l), have been synthesized from Schiff bases of N-arylidene-2-(6-methyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)anilines, (2a-l). The Schiff bases (2a-l) were prepared by condensation of different aldehydes with 2-(6-methyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)aniline (1). The compound (1) was obtained from 2-amino benzoic acid and 4-methylbenzene-1,2-diamine. All the synthesized compounds were screened for in vitro antibacterial and antifungal activities on Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus pyogenes, Candida albicans, Aspergillus niger, and Aspergillus clavatus. The structures of the compounds synthesized were elucidated by IR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, and mass spectra. Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 2011.

- Efficient method for the synthesis of benzimidazoquinazoline derivatives with three-point diversity
-
An efficient strategy for the preparation of a novel heterocyclic ring system of benzimidazoquinazolines with three-point diversity has been described. The compounds were obtained by treating o-phenylene diamines with o-nitrobenzaldehyde to give benzimidazoles, followed by reduction of the nitro group to give an amine. Derivatization of the resulting amine with isothiocyanates followed by in situ cyclodesulfurization at rt furnished the title compounds in high yields and purities.
