A total of 15 novel benzimidazole derivatives were designed, synthesized and evaluated for their SIRT1 and SIRT2 inhibitory activity. All compounds showed better inhibition on SIRT2 as compared to SIRT1. Among these, compound 5j displayed the best inhibitory activity for SIRT1 (IC50 = 58.43 mu M) as well as for SIRT2 (IC50 = 45.12 mu M). Cell cytotoxicity assays also showed that compound 5j possesses good antitumor activity against two different cancer cell lines derived frombreast cancer (MCF-7 and MDA-MB-468). A simple structure-activity-relationship (SAR) study of the newly synthesized benzimidazole derivatives was also discussed. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
