A novel series of antimalarial benzimidazole derivatives incorporating phenolic Mannich base side chains at the C2 position, which possess dual asexual blood and sexual stage activities, is presented. Structure-activity relationship studies revealed that the 1-benzylbenzimidazole analogues possessed submicromolar asexual blood and sexual stage activities in contrast to the 1H-benzimidazole analogues, which were only active against asexual blood stage (ABS) parasites. Further, the former demonstrated microtubule inhibitory activity in ABS parasites but more significantly in stage II/III gametocytes. In addition to being bona fide inhibitors of hemozoin formation, the 1H-benzimidazole analogues also showed inhibitory effects on microtubules. In vivo efficacy studies in Plasmodium berghei-infected mice revealed that the frontrunner compound 41 exhibited high efficacy (98% reduction in parasitemia) when dosed orally at 4 × 50 mg/kg. Generally, the compounds were noncytotoxic to mammalian cells.

A series of 5-(4-biphenyl)-3-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,4-triazole derivatives were prepared and evaluated as selective antagonists for the human vasopressin V1A receptor. The compounds were examined for their affinity to the cloned human V1A receptor (hV1A) and selectivity vs the cloned human V2 receptor (hV2). By utilizing the structure-activity relationship on 4,4-difluoro-5-methylidene-2,3,4,5-tetrahydrobenzazepine derivatives as dual antagonists for the V1A and V2 receptors in our previous study, we found that substituting the methoxy group at the 2-position of the 4-phenyl ring with (4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)alkoxy moieties brought about marked improvement of both affinity to hV1A and selectivity vs hV2. Further introduction of a methyl group into the 6-position of the 4-phenyl ring resulted in additional improvement of selectivity. One particular compound, 5-(4-biphenyl)-3-methyl-4-{2-[6-(4-methyl-l-piperazinyl)-hexyloxy]phenyl} -1,2,4-triazole (19) showed potent affinity to hV1A with a Ki value of 1.04 nM and high selectivity with a 1700-fold selectivity vs hV2. We also found marked differences in the affinity of compounds in this series between the human and the rat receptors. Compound, 19 was further examined for its V1A receptor antagonist activity in rats. As a result, 19 demonstrated antagonist activities toward an arginine vasopressin-induced increase in diastolic blood pressure after intravenous or oral administration and long-lasting oral activity.
