Synthesis, computational analysis, and antiproliferative activity of novel benzimidazole acrylonitriles as tubulin polymerization inhibitors: Part 2

We used classical linear and microwave-assisted synthesis methods to prepare novel N-substituted, benzimidazole-derived acrylonitriles with antiproliferative activity against several cancer cells in vitro. The most potent systems showed pronounced activit

Novel purine benzimidazoles as antimicrobial agents by regulating ROS generation and targeting clinically resistant Staphylococcus aureus DNA groove

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.

Discovery of Benzimidazole–Quinolone Hybrids as New Cleaving Agents toward Drug-Resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa DNA

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.

Construction of Druglike 2-Amido Benzo[ d]imidazole Analogues via Desulfurative Cyclization of Thiourea Intermediate Resin on Solid-Phase

A 2-amido benzo[d]imidazole library has been constructed by solid-phase synthesis. The key step of this solid-phase synthesis involves the preparation of polymer-bound 2-amino benzo[d]imidazole resin through desulfurative cyclization of thiourea resin using 2-chloro-1,3-dimethylimidazolinium chloride and N,N-diisopropylethylamine in dichloromethane (DCM), and the resin is then functionalized by acylation at the 2-amine position to afford 2-amidobenzo[d]imidazole resin. In the case of 2-amidobenzo[d]imidazole resin having a p-I or m-NO2, the resin was further functionalized by Suzuki/Sonogashira-coupling (p-I) and reduction to the primary amine (m-NO2) followed by acylation. Finally, the functionalized 2-amido-benzo[d]imidazole resin was cleaved from the polymer support by treatment with a cocktail of trifluoroacetic acid and DCM. As a result, we obtained 2-amidobenzo[d]imidazole analogues in high yield and good purities.

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.

Rapid construction of imidazopyridines from ortho-haloaminopyridines

A practical strategy for the preparation of imidazopyridine derivatives from ortho-haloaminopyridines utilizing a two-step C-N coupling/cyclization reaction sequence has been developed. This procedure provides rapid and efficient access to many medicinally interesting imidazopyridine compounds and related imidazopyrazine/purine heterocycles.

3-acetylcoumarin as a practical ligand for copper-catalyzed C-N coupling reactions at room temperature

The use of coumarin-based ligands was examined in copper-catalyzed C-N cross-coupling reactions. It was found that 3-acetylcoumarin constituted a new, practical ligand for the copper-catalyzed N-arylation of aliphatic amines and imidazole with aryl iodides at room temperature. Aryl bromides could also be aminated efficiently at 80 C. This readily available catalyst system, namely copper(I) iodide and 3-acetylcoumarin, provides a mild and practical method for the synthesis of aromatic amines.

Two-step synthetic route to 10-substituted isoalloxazines

10-Substituted isoalloxazines were synthesized in two steps starting from 1,2-phenylenediamine. Monoalkylation of the diamine resulted in 2-amino-N-alkylanilines, which were subsequently condensed with alloxan in boric acid and acetic acid to give 10-subs
