An efficient method for the synthesis of novel 9H-imidazo[1,2-a]benzimidazole derivatives containing a biphenyl substituent at position 2 was developed. These compounds, belonging to the privileged substructures, have been tested for a wide range of pharmacological activities in the in vitro test panel. It was shown that the synthesized derivatives demonstrated high antioxidant activity, some of them inhibit type 1B protein tyrosine phosphatase, activate AMP-activated protein kinase, possess antiplatelet properties, and a rare and very interesting kind of activity, the ability to break cross-links of glycated proteins. The most active compounds can be suggested for further optimization.

We observed intriguing substituent effects in the reaction between 4-substituted acetophenones and acenaphthenequinone in the presence of KOH in methanol. In all cases, expected Claisen-Schimdt condensation was the first step. However, depending on the nature of 4-substituent on acetophenone, the initially formed condensation product remain unchanged or underwent Domino sequence of reactions to give three different 2:2 adducts arising through three distinct pathways. The interactions of acenaphthenone-2-ylidene ketones with the target proteins were performed by molecular docking studies. The prediction of in silico ADME belongings of the synthesized compounds revealed substantial drug-likeness characters based on Lipinski's rules.

The enzyme 3-mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferase (3-MST) is one of the more recently identified mammalian sources of H2S. A recent study identified several novel 3-MST inhibitors with micromolar potency. Among those, (2-[(4-hydroxy-6-methylpyrimidin-2-yl)sulfanyl]-1-(naphthalen-1-yl)ethan-1-one) or HMPSNE was found to be the most potent and selective. We now took the central core of this compound and modified the pyrimidone and the arylketone sides independently. A 63-compound library was synthesized; compounds were tested for H2S generation from recombinant 3-MST in vitro. Active compounds were subsequently tested to elucidate their potency and selectivity. Computer modeling studies have delineated some of the key structural features necessary for binding to the 3-MST's active site. Six novel 3-MST inhibitors were tested in cell-based assays: they exerted inhibitory effects in murine MC38 and CT26 colon cancer cell proliferation; the antiproliferative effect of the compound with the highest potency and best cell-based activity (1b) was also confirmed on the growth of MC38 tumors in mice.
Nucleus-independent chemical shift (NICS) as a criterion for the design of new antifungal benzofuranones

The assertion made by Wu et al. that aromaticity may have considerable implications for molecular design motivated us to use nucleus-independent chemical shifts (NICS) as an aromaticity criterion to evaluate the antifungal activity of two series of indol-4-ones. A linear regression analysis of NICS and antifungal activity showed that both tested variables were significantly related (p –1 for Candida glabrata, Candida krusei and Candida guilliermondii with compounds 15-32, 15-15 and 15-1. The MIC for filamentous fungi was 1.95 μg·mL–1 for Aspergillus niger for compounds 15-1, 15-33 and 15-34. The results obtained support the use of NICS in the molecular design of compounds with antifungal activity.
