A series of benzimidazole–quinolone hybrids as new potential antimicrobial agents were designed and synthesized. Bioactive assays indicated that some of the prepared compounds exhibited potent antibacterial and antifungal activities. Notably, 2-fluorobenzyl derivative 5 b (ethyl 7-chloro-6-fluoro-1-[[1-[(2-fluorophenyl)methyl]benzimidazol-2-yl]methyl]-4-oxo-quinoline-3-carboxylate) showed remarkable antimicrobial activity against resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Candida tropicalis isolated from infected patients. Active molecule 5 b could not only rapidly kill the tested strains, but also exhibit low toxicity toward Hep-2 cells. It was more difficult to trigger the development of bacterial resistance of P. aeruginosa against 5 b than that against norfloxacin. Molecular docking demonstrated that 5 b could effectively bind with topoisomerase IV–DNA complexes, and quantum chemical studies theoretically elucidated the good antimicrobial activity of compound 5 b. Preliminary experimental reaction mechanism exploration suggested that derivative 5 b could not intercalate into DNA isolated from drug-resistant P. aeruginosa, but was able to cleave DNA effectively, which might further block DNA replication to exert powerful bioactivities. In addition, compound 5 b is a promising antibacterial agent with membrane disruption abilities.

The lack of effective therapies for epileptic patients and the potentially harmful consequences of untreated seizure incidents have made epileptic disorders in humans a major health concern. Therefore, new and more potent anticonvulsant drugs are continually sought after,?to combat epilepsy. On the basis of the pharmacophoric structural specifications of effective α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA) antagonists with an efficient anticonvulsant activity, the present work reports the design and synthesis of two novel sets of quinoxaline derivatives. The anticonvulsant activity of the synthesized compounds was evaluated in vivo according to the pentylenetetrazol-induced seizure protocol, and the results were compared with those of perampanel as a reference drug. Among the synthesized compounds, 24, 28, 32, and 33 showed promising activities with ED50 values of 37.50, 23.02, 29.16, and 23.86 mg/kg, respectively. Docking studies of these compounds suggested that AMPA binding could be the mechanism of action of these derivatives. Overall, the pharmacophore-based structural optimization, in vivo?and in silico docking, and druglikeness studies indicated that the designed compounds could serve as promising candidates for the development of effective anticonvulsant agents with good pharmacokinetic profiles.

A novel series of purine benzimidazole hybrids were designed and synthesized for the first time with the aim to circumvent the increasing antibiotic resistance. Hexyl appended hybrid 3c gave potent activities against most of the tested bacteria and fungi especially against multidrug-resistant strains Staphylococcus aureus (MIC = 4 μg/mL). Structure-activity relationships revealed that the benzimidazole fragment at the 9-position of purine played an important role in exerting potentially antibacterial activity. Both cell toxicity and ROS generation assays indicated that the purine derivative 3c showed low cytotoxicity and could be used as a safe agent. Molecular modeling suggested that hybrid 3c could bind with the residues of Topo IA through hydrogen bonds and electrostatic interactions. Quantum chemical studies were also performed on the target compound 3c to understand the structural features essential for activity. The active molecule 3c could effectively interact with S. aureus DNA to form 3c–DNA complex through groove binding mode, which might block DNA replication to display their powerful antimicrobial activity.

One pot click chemistry is used to link triazole and benzimidazole pharmacophore to get N-((1-((1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)methyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)methyl)aniline and its derivatives. Flexible linkages in the form of –CH2–R or –O–R/–N–R were designed during synthesis. All the newly synthesized compounds were characterized by FT-IR and NMR spectroscopy as well as high-resolution mass spectrometry. Selected compounds were screened for in vitro anti-proliferative activity using National Cancer Institute (NCI)-60 human tumor cell line screening program. The most potent structure N-((1-((1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)methyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)methyl)-4-chloroaniline 7e showed 40% growth inhibition in renal cancer cell line (UO-31) at 10 μM concentration.

A series of novel benzimidazolyl tetrahydroprotoberberines were conveniently designed and efficiently synthesized from berberine via direct cyclization of tetrahydroprotoberberine aldehyde and o-phenylene diamines under metal-free aerobic oxidation. All the new compounds were characterized by IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and HRMS spectra. The antimicrobial evaluation revealed that the 5-fluorobenzimidazolyl derivative 5b was the most active antibacterial and antifungal molecule with broad spectrum in comparison to Berberine, Chloromycin, Norfloxacin and Fluconazole. It triggered almost no resistance development against MRSA even after 15 passages. Further studies demonstrated that compound 5b could not only effectively interact with Topo IA by hydrogen bonds, but also intercalate into calf thymus DNA and cleave pBR322 DNA, which might be responsible for its powerful bioactivities.

A series of novel benzimidazole quinolones as potential antimicrobial agents were designed and synthesized. Most of the prepared compounds exhibited good or even stronger antimicrobial activities in comparison with reference drugs. The most potent compound 15m was membrane active and did not trigger the development of resistance in bacteria. It not only inhibited the formation of biofilms but also disrupted the established Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli biofilms. It was able to inhibit the relaxation activity of E. coli topoisomerase IV at 10 μM concentration. Moreover, this compound also showed low toxicity against mammalian cells. Molecular modeling and experimental investigation of compound 15m with DNA suggested that this compound could effectively bind with DNA to form a steady 15m-DNA complex which might further block DNA replication to exert the powerful bioactivities.

The development of a reagent for the efficient synthesis of five- and six-membered azoles at room temperature is proposed. A variety of substituted 2-aminobenzimidazoles are synthesized in good to excellent yields. The ability to incorporate various protecting groups makes the imidoyl dichloride reagent amenable to a large number of syntheses. The reagent is applied to the total synthesis of the 2-aminobenzimidazole containing carcinogen, 2-amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (PhIP), from 2-chloro-3-nitropyridine in >60% yield in 6 steps.
