Synthesis, antioxidant, and antimicrobial evaluation of some 2-arylbenzimidazole derivatives
摘要:
A series of 2-arylbenzimidazole derivatives (3a-3p and 4a-4i) were synthesized and evaluated as potential antioxidant and antimicrobial agents. Their antioxidant properties were evaluated by various in vitro assays including hydroxyl radical (HO center dot) scavenging, superoxide radical anion (O-2(center dot)) scavenging, 1,1-diphenyl- 2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging, and ferric reducing antioxidant power. Results demonstrated that compounds with hydroxyl group at the 5-position of benzimidazole ring had a comparable or better antioxidant activity in comparison to standard antioxidant tert-butylhydroquinone (TBHQ). Markedly, compound 4h that showed the highest HO center dot scavenging activity (EC50 = 46 mu M) in vitro had a significant reduction of 2,2'-azobis(2-amidinopropane) dihydrochloride (AAPH)-induced intracellular oxidative stress and H2O2-induced cell death. In addition, these compounds showed moderate to good inhibitory activity against Staphylococcus aureus selectively at noncytotoxic concentrations. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Amino-Substituted Benzamide Derivatives as Promising Antioxidant Agents: A Combined Experimental and Computational Study
revealed that the introduction of the hydroxy groups shifts the reactivity from both amide and amine groups toward this moiety and additionally enhances antioxidative features. This is particularly evident in 26H•+, which owes its pronounced reactivity to the stabilizing [O•···H–O] hydrogen bonding between the created phenoxyl radical and the two neighboring hydroxy groups. We demonstrated that its
