Design and Synthesis of 2-Arylbenzimidazoles and Evaluation of Their Inhibitory Effect against Chlamydia pneumoniae
摘要:
Chlamydia pneumoniae is an intracellular bacterium that responds poorly to antibiotic treatment. Insufficient antibiotic usage leads to chronic infection, which is linked to disease processes of asthma, atherosclerosis, and Alzheimer's disease. The Chlamydia research lacks genetic tools exploited by other antimicrobial research, and thus other approaches to drug discovery must be applied. A set of 2-arylbenzimidazoles was designed based on our earlier findings, and 33 derivatives were synthesized. Derivatives were assayed against C. pneumoniae strain CWL-029 in an acute infection model using TR-FIA method at a concentration of 10 mu M, and the effects of the derivatives on the host cell viability were evaluated at the same concentration. Fourteen compounds showed at least 80% inhibition, with only minor changes in host cell viability. Nine most potential compounds were evaluated using immunofluorescence microscopy on two different strains of C. pneumoniae CWL-029 and CV-6. The N-[3-(1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)phenyl]-3-methylbenzamide (42) had minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 10 mu M against CWL-029 and 6.3 mu M against the clinical strain CV-6. This study shows the high antichlamydial potential of 2-arylbenzimidazoles, which also seem to have good characteristics for lead compounds.

structure-activity relationship (SAR) of the benzimidazole scaffold was explored by synthesis of several analogues whose inhibition activity was tested with enzyme inhibition assays. By performing the molecular simplification approach, we disclosed different sets of single-digit micromolar inhibitors of MMP-2, with up to a ten-fold increase in inhibitory activity and ameliorated selectivity towards off-target

Benzimidazole analogs 1-27 were synthesized, characterized by EI-MS and H-1 NMR and their alpha-glucosidase inhibitory activities were found out experimentally. Compound 25, 19, 10 and 20 have best inhibitory activities with IC50 values 5.30 +/- 0.10, 16.10 +/- 0.10, 25.36 +/- 0.14 and 29.75 +/- 0.19 respectively against alpha-glucosidase. Compound 6 and 12 has no inhibitory activity against alpha-glucosidase enzyme among the series. Further studies showed that the compounds are not showing any cytotoxicity effect. The docking studies of the compounds as well as the experimental activities of the compounds correlated well. From the molecular docking studies, it was observed that the top ranked conformation of all the compounds fit well in the active site of the homology model of alpha-glucosidase.
