Synthesis and biological evaluation of new non-imidazole H3-receptor antagonists of the 2-aminobenzimidazole series
摘要:
A novel series of non-imidazole H-3-receptor antagonists was developed, by chemical modification of a potent lead H-3-antagonist composed by an imidazole ring connected through an alkyl spacer to a 2-aminobenzimidazole moiety (e.g., 2-[[3-[4(5)-imidazolyl]propyl]amino]benzimidazole), previously reported by our research group. We investigated whether the removal of the imidazole ring could allow retaining high affinity for the H-3-receptor, thanks to the interactions undertaken by the 2-aminobenzimidazole moiety at the binding site. The imidazole ring of the lead was replaced by a basic piperidine or by a lipophilic p-chlorophenoxy substituent, modulating the spacer length from three to eight methylene groups; moreover, the substituents were moved to the 5(6) position of the benzimidazole nucleus. Within both the 2-alkylaminobenzimidazole series and the 5(6)-alkoxy-2-amino-benzimidazole one, the greatest H-3-receptor affinity was obtained for the piperidine-substituted compounds, while the presence of the p-chlorophenoxy group resulted in a drop in affinity. The optimal chain length was different in the two series. Even if the new compounds did not reach the high receptor affinity shown by the imidazole-containing lead compound, it was possible to get good H-3-antagonist potencies with 2-aminobenzimidazoles having a tertiary amino group at appropriate distance.

4-Pyridyl cyanoguanidines with hydrophobic aromatic side chains showed potent antiproliferative activity in the human breast and lung cancer cell lines MCF-7, NYH and H460. In vivo, treatment with N-(6-chlorophenoxyhexyl)-N'-cyano-N "-4-pyridylguanidine (18, 20 mg/kg/day po.), gave a complete remission of tumours in a model of NYH inoculated nude mice.

Synthesis and in vitro cytotoxicity of 5-substituted 2-cyanoimino-4-imidazodinone and 2-cyanoimino-4-pyrimidinone derivatives
A series of 5-substituted 2-eyanoimino-4-imidazodinone and 2-eyanoimino-4-pyrimidinone derivatives were synthesized and their anticancer cytotoxicity were evaluated in in vitro assay. It was found that the bulky aryl functionality in the 5-position of the 2-cyanoimino-4-imidazolidinone compounds was essential for the cytotoxicity of these heterocyclic compounds. Some of the derivatives exhibited modest cytotoxicity against a variety of cancer cell lines. One of the derivatives, [1-[6-(4-chlorophenoxy)hexyl]-5-oxo-4-phenyl-3-(4-pyridyl)tetrahydro-1H-2-imidazolyliden]aminomethanenitrile (Compound 11), exhibited the most potent cytotoxic activity with IC50 in the nanomolar range. The cytotoxicity of these derivatives was selection with no apparent toxic effect toward normal fibroblasts. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
