Discovery of membrane active benzimidazole quinolones-based topoisomerase inhibitors as potential DNA-binding antimicrobial agents

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.

CuBr-Catalyzed Oxidation/Coupling: An Efficient and Applicable Strategy for the Synthesis of 2-Aryl Benzimidazoles from 1-Fluoro-2-nitrobenzene and Benzylamines

A novel and efficient route has been developed for the synthesis of benzimidazole derivatives via ligand-free CuBr-catalyzed oxidation and cyclization of 1,2-diamines derived from 1-fluoro-2-nitrobenzene and different arylamines as starting materials. GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT.

Multifunctional PdAg@MIL-101 for One-Pot Cascade Reactions: Combination of Host-Guest Cooperation and Bimetallic Synergy in Catalysis

Metal nanoparticles (NPs) stabilized by metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are very promising for catalysis, while reports on their cooperative catalysis for a cascade reaction have been very rare. In this work, Pd NPs incorporated into a MOF, MIL-101, have jointly completed a tandem reaction on the basis of MOF Lewis acidity and Pd NPs. Subsequently, ultrafine PdAg alloy NPs (～1.5 nm) have been encapsulated into MIL-101. The obtained multifunctional PdAg@MIL-101 exhibits good catalytic activity and selectivity in cascade reactions under mild conditions, on the basis of the combination of host-guest cooperation and bimetallic synergy, where MIL-101 affords Lewis acidity and Pd offers hydrogenation activity while Ag greatly improves selectivity to the target product. As far as we know, this is the first work on bimetallic NP@MOFs as multifunctional catalysts with multiple active sites (MOF acidity and bimetallic species) that exert respective functions and cooperatively catalyze a one-pot cascade reaction.

Metal-free TEMPO-promoted C(sp3)-H amination to afford multisubstituted benzimidazoles

An efficient TEMPO-air/cat. TEMPO-O2 oxidative protocol was developed to synthesize multisubstituted or fused tetracyclic benzimidazoles via a metal-free oxidative C-N coupling between the sp3 C-H and free N-H of readily available N1-benzyl/alkyl-1,2-phenylenediamines.

Synthesis, structure and reactivity of 1-(4-nitrobenzyl)-2-chloromethyl benzimidazole

The synthesis of 1-(4-nitrobenzyl)-2-chloromethyl benzimidazole, which undergoes a nucleophilic substitution with pyridine in the absence of additional base, is reported. The key steps are the reaction of 1,2-phenylenediamine to give exclusively the mono-
