By the reaction of 4-nitro-1,2-phenylenediamine with 1-(p-R-phenyl)-3-(4-nitrophenyl)propenones, Michael adducts with a 1:2 composition have been obtained. A stagewise scheme is proposed for the formation of these compounds. The structure of one of the products has been established by means of x-ray structure analysis. 1996 Plenum Publishing Corporation.

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a large family of zinc-dependent endoproteases known to exert multiple regulatory roles in tumor progression and invasiveness. This encouraged over the years the approach of MMP, and particularly MMP-2, targeting for anticancer treatment. Early generations of MMP inhibitors, based on aspecific zinc binding groups (ZBGs) assembled on (pseudo)peptide scaffolds, have been discontinued due to the clinical emergence of toxicity and further drawbacks, giving the way to inhibitors with alternative zinc-chelator moieties or not binding the catalytic zinc ion. In the present paper, we continue the search for new non-zinc binding MMP-2 inhibitors: exploiting previously identified compounds, a virtual screening (VS) campaign was carried out and led to the identification of a new class of ligands. The structure-activity relationship (SAR) of the benzimidazole scaffold was explored by synthesis of several analogues whose inhibition activity was tested with enzyme inhibition assays. By performing the molecular simplification approach, we disclosed different sets of single-digit micromolar inhibitors of MMP-2, with up to a ten-fold increase in inhibitory activity and ameliorated selectivity towards off-target MMP-8, compared to selected lead compound. Molecular dynamics calculations conducted on complexes of MMP-2 with docked privileged structures confirmed that analyzed inhibitors avoid targeting the zinc ion and dip inside the S1′ pocket. Present results provide a further enrichment of our insights for the design of novel MMP-2 selective inhibitors.

In this study, 2,2′-bipyridine was treated with chlorosulfonic acid and 1,1′-disulfo-[2,2′-bipyridine]-1,1′-diium chloride, [BiPy](SO3H)2Cl2, as a new ionic liquid catalyst was obtained and characterized with a variety of techniques including IR, 1H, and 13C NMR, Hammett acidity function as well as mass spectra method. After preparation and characterization, this ionic liquid was used as an efficient catalyst for the green and mild synthesis of benzimidazole derivatives. In addition, this reagent is efficiently able to catalyze the preparation of benzimidazole derivatives from the protected derivatives of aldehydes including oximes and semicarbazones. All reactions are performed under mild conditions in excellent yields.
