A series of novel benzimidazole derivatives were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their activities against four kinds of enteroviruses, that is, Coxsackie virus A16, B3, B6 and Enterovirus 71 in VERO cells. Strong activities against enterovirus replication and low cytotoxicities were observed in these benzimidazoles generally. The most promising compound was (l)-2-(pyridin-2-yl)- N-(2-(4-nitrophenyl)pentan-3-yl)-1H-benzimidazole-4-carboxamide (16), with a high antiviral potency (IC50 = 1.76 μg/mL) and a remarkable selectivity index (328). These compounds were selected for further evaluation as novel enterovirus inhibitors.

A series of substituted 2-phenylbenzimidazole-4-carboxamides has been synthesized and evaluated for in vitro and in vivo antitumor activity.These compounds represent the logical conclusion to our search for "minimal" DNA-intercalating agents with the lowest possible DNA-binding constants.Such "2-1" tricyclic chromophores, of lower aromaticity than the structurally similar 2-phenylquinolines, have the lowest DNA binding affinity yet seen in the broad series of tricyclic carboxamide intercalating agents.Despite very low in vitro cytotoxicities, several of the compoundshad moderate levels of in vivo antileukemic effects.However, the most interesting aspect of their biological activity was the lack of cross-resistance shown to an amsacrine-resistant P388 cell line, suggesting that these compounds may not express their cytotoxicity via interaction with topoisomerase II.
