Identification of Phenoxyalkylbenzimidazoles with Antitubercular Activity
摘要:
We conducted an evaluation of the phenoxyalkylbenzimidazole series based on the exemplar 2-ethyl-1-(3-phenoxypropyl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazole for its antitubercular activity. Four segments of the molecule were examined systematically to define a structure activity relationship with respect to biological activity. Compounds had submicromolar activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis; the most potent compound had a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 52 nM and was not cytotoxic against eukaryotic cells (selectivity index = 523). Compounds were selective for M. tuberculosis over other bacterial species, including the closely related Mycobacterium smegmatis. Compounds had a bacteriostatic effect against aerobically grown, replicating M. tuberculosis, but were bactericidal against nonreplicating bacteria. Representative compounds had moderate to high permeability in MDCK cells, but were rapidly metabolized in rodents and human liver microsomes, suggesting the possibility of rapid in vivo hepatic clearance mediated by oxidative metabolism. These results indicate that the readily synthesized phenoxyalkylbenzimidazoles are a promising class of potent and selective antitubercular agents, if the metabolic liability can be solved.

Described herein are compounds of Formula (A), pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, and pharmaceutical compositions thereof. Compounds of the present invention are useful for inhibiting PRMT5 activity. Methods of using the compounds for treating PRMT5- mediated disorders are also described.
Silver-loaded TiO2 (Ag–TiO2) and acidic clay (K10 montmorillonite) composite photocatalyst has been successfully applied for the light-induced conversion of o-phenylenediamine (OPD) and its derivatives to substituted benzimidazoles with various alcohols in acetonitrile using UV-A and solar light. The influence of the various photocatalysts, solvents, and substituents on the yield and selectivity of the products has been investigated. The mechanism of photocatalysis is proposed. Loading silver on TiO2 enhances product yield and selectivity both in UV and solar light. In the presence of primary alcohols, 2-aminothiophenol forms only disulfide and hence Ag–TiO2/clay can be used as a green catalyst for the synthesis of disulfides.
A novel silica tungstic acid (STA) as a highly efficient catalyst has been synthesized and employed for the cyclocondensation of 1,2-phenylenediamines with orthoesters under solvent-free conditions. Catalyst loadings can be as low as 1 mol% to give high yields of the corresponding benzimidazoles at 80 °C. To make the catalyst, sodium tungstate reacted with silica chloride under refluxing n-hexane.
