- Synthesis, bioevaluation and docking studies of some 2-phenyl-1H-benzimidazole derivatives as anthelminthic agents against the nematode Teladorsagia circumcincta
-
Gastrointestinal nematode infections are the main diseases in herds of small ruminants. Resistance to the main established drugs has become a worldwide problem. The purpose of this study is to obtain and evaluate the in vitro ovicidal and larvicidal activity of some 2-phenylbenzimidazole derivatives on susceptible and resistant strains of Teladorsagia circumcincta. Compounds were prepared by known procedures from substituted o-phenylenediamines and arylaldehydes or intermediate sodium 1-hydroxyphenylmethanesulfonate derivatives. Egg Hatch Test (EHT), Larval Mortality Test (LMT) and Larval Migration Inhibition Test (LMIT) were used in the initial screening of compounds at 50 μM concentration, and EC50 values were determined for the most potent compounds. Cytotoxicity evaluation of compounds was conducted on human Caco-2 and HepG2 cell lines to calculate their Selectivity Indexes (SI). At 50 μM concentration, nine out of twenty-four compounds displayed more than 98% ovicidal activity on a susceptible strain, and four of them showed more than 86% on one resistant strain. The most potent ovicidal benzimidazole (BZ) 3 showed EC50 = 6.30 μM, for the susceptible strain, while BZ 2 showed the lowest EC50 value of 14.5 μM for the resistant strain. Docking studies of most potent compounds in a modelled Teladorsagia tubulin indicated an inverted orientation for BZ 1 in the colchicine binding site, probably due to its fair interaction with glutamic acid at codon 198, which could justify its inactivity against the resistant strain of T. circumcincta.

- Synthesis, p38 kinase inhibitory and anti-inflammatory activity of new substituted benzimidazole derivatives
-
P38 mitogen activated protein kinases have been found to involve in the production and release of unwarranted levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines including TNFα and IL-1β in numerous inflammatory diseases. A new series of molecules, 5-substituted benzoylamino-2-substituted phenylbezimidazoles has been synthesized from 4-nitro-1, 2-diaminobenzene. The synthesized compounds were characterized by FTIR, 1HNMR and Mass. The final compounds were screened for in vitro p38 kinase inhibitory and in vivo anti-inflammatory activity. Three compounds from the series demonstrated nearly 50percent inhibition of p38 kinase in the in vitro screening method at 10 μM concentration and two molecules exhibited greater than 75percent inhibition of paw oedema volume during the first hour. The docking study of synthesized molecule revealed a new binding pose in ATP binding pocket.

- A versatile method for the synthesis of benzimidazoles from o-nitroanilines and aldehydes in one step via a reductive cyclization
-
A highly efficient and versatile method for the synthesis of benzimidazoles was achieved in one step via the Na2S2O4 reduction of o-nitroanilines in the presence of aldehydes. Heating a solution of o-nitroaniline (Ic) and an aldehyde in EtOH or another appropriate solvent, in the presence of aqueous or solid Na2S2O4, provided facile access to a series of 2-substituted N-H benzimidazoles 5a-m containing a wide range of functional groups not always compatible with the existing synthetic methods. This methodology has also been applied to the regioselective synthesis of N-alkyl and N-aryl benzimidazoles 6a-f via the cyclization of the corresponding N-substituted nitroanilines 13a-e, respectively. In addition, the method was applied successfully to the synthesis of other imidazole containing heterocyclic ring systems such as 1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridines 14a,b and 1H-imidazo[4,5-f]quinoline 15.
