We have investigated the in vitro hamster hepatic microsomal metabolism of the amino-azaheterocycle, 2-amino-1-benzylbenzimidazole (ABB). Three major metabolites were isolated and structurally characterized, using a combination of off-line HPLC, in conjunction with both electron ionization and fast atom bombardment ionization tandem mass spectrometry. ABB was shown to be debenzylated to afford 2-aminobenzimidazole (AB), as well as N- and C-oxidized to give 1-benzyl-N2-hydroxyaminobenzimidazole (BHB) and 2-amino-1-benzyl-hydroxybenzimidazole, respectively. The possible reasons for formation of the exocyclic hydroxylamine BHB are discussed. Furthermore, ABB is proposed as a suitable model compound for investigating parameters that control formation of toxic hydroxylamines derived from amino-azaheterocycles.

Background and Purpose: Recent development in drug discovery have shown benzimidazole to be an important pharmacophore,. Benzimidazole derivatives exhibit broad-spectrum pharmacological properties including anti-microbial, anti-diabetic and anti-tumour activity. However, whether benzimidazole derivatives are effective in suppressing angiogenesis and its underlying mechanisms remain incompletely understood. In this study, we aim to characterize the anti-angiogenic mechanisms of a novel 2-aminobenzimidazole-based compound, Jzu 17, in an effort to develop novel angiogenesis inhibitor. Experimental Approach: Effects of Jzu 17 on endothelial cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and activation of signalling molecules induced by VEGF-A, were analysed by immunoblotting, MTT, BrdU, migration, and invasion assays. We performed tube formation assay, aorta ring sprouting assay, matrigel plug assay, and a mouse model of metastasis to evaluate ex vivo and in vivo anti-angiogenic effects of Jzu 17. Key Results: Jzu 17 inhibited VEGF-A-induced cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and endothelial tube formation of HUVECs. Jzu 17 suppressed VEGF-A-induced microvessel sprouting ex vivo and attenuated VEGF-A- or tumour cell-induced neovascularization in vivo. Jzu 17 also reduced B16F10 melanoma lung metastasis. In addition, Jzu 17 inhibited the phosphorylation of VEGFR-2 and its downstream signalling molecules in VEGF-A-stimulated HUVECs. Results from computer modelling further showed that Jzu 17 binds to VEGFR-2 with high affinity. Conclusions and Implications: Jzu 17 may inhibit endothelial remodelling and suppress angiogenesis through targeting VEGF-A-VEGFR-2 signalling. These results also suggest Jzu 17 as a potential lead compound and warrant the clinical development of similar agents in the treatment of cancer and angiogenesis-related diseases.

Toll-like receptor (TLR)-8 agonists strongly induce the production of T helper 1-polarizing cytokines and may therefore serve as promising candidate vaccine adjuvants, especially for the very young and the elderly. Earlier structure-based ligand design led to the identification of 3-pentyl-quinoline-2-amine as a novel, human TLR8-specific agonist. Comprehensive structure-activity relationships in ring-contracted 1-alkyl-1H-benzimidazol-2-amines were undertaken, and the best-in-class compound, 4-methyl-1-pentyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-amine, was found to be a pure TLR8 agonist, evoking strong proinflammatory cytokine and Type II interferon responses in human PBMCs, with no attendant CD69 upregulation in natural lymphocytic subsets. The 1-alkyl-1H-benzimidazol-2-amines represent a novel, alternate chemotype with pure TLR8-agonistic activities and will likely prove useful not only in understanding TLR8 signaling but also perhaps as a candidate vaccine adjuvant.

The multistep preparation of the new 10-substituted 2-(1-piperazinyl) pyrimido[1,2-a]benzimidazol-4(10H)-ones 6a-o, and of the two isomers 10-ethyl-2-(diethylamino)pyrimido[1,2-a]benzimidazol-4(10H)-one 6p and 10-ethyl-4-(diethylamino)pyrimido[1,2-a]benzimidazol-2(10H)-one 13, as well as the in vitro evaluation of their inhibitory activity on human platelet aggregation induced in platelet-rich plasma by ADP, collagen or the Ca 2+ ionophore A23187 were here described. Nine out of fifteen 2-(1-piperazinyl)derivatives (6g-o) showed good inhibitory properties towards all the platelet aggregation agonists used. Moreover, a molecular modelling study has been performed on two of the best compounds of this series (6i and 6o) to confirm in silico their interactions with the catalytic site of human platelet PDE3, using the X-ray data of the PDE3B isoform in complex with an inhibitor.

A series of novel 1-substituted-2-aminobenzimidazole derivatives were synthesized. The structures of the synthesized compounds were confirmed by 1H-NMR spectra and by elemental analysis. Acute toxicities of these compounds were detected on mice via toxicity (logLD50). QSAR analysis of these chemicals was studied on the relationship between acute toxicity and the octanol/water partition coefficient (LogP). The products were identified by the results of elemental analysis and 1H-NMR spectra. The toxicity (logLD50) of 2-aminobenzimidazole 1-substituents were correlated well with the partition coefficient LogP, r = 0.9243. The bioactivity (toxicity) of 2-aminobenzimidazoles can be predicted by the molecular structural parameter such as LogP.
