5-Arylamino-1H-benzo[d]imidazole-4,7-diones were synthesized and tested for their inhibitory activities on the proliferation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and the smooth muscle cells (SMCs). Among them, several 1H-benzo[d]imidazole-4,7-diones exhibited the selective antiproliferative activity on the HUVECs. Further mechanistic study revealed that the inhibitory effect of one representative 1H-benzo[d]imidazole-4,7-dione 2b on HUVEC proliferation was mediated by the activation of p38 signaling pathway in the HUVECs.
