Abstract
4,5,6,7-Tetrabromo-1H-benzotriazole is widely used as the reference ATP-competitive inhibitor of protein kinase CK2. Herein, we study its new analogs: 5,6-diiodo- and 5,6-diiodo-4,7-dibromo-1H-benzotriazole. We used biophysical (MST, ITC) and biochemical (enzymatic assay) methods to describe the interactions of halogenated benzotriazoles with the catalytic subunit of human protein kinase CK2 (hCK2α). To trace the biological activity, we measured their cytotoxicity against four reference cancer cell lines and the effect on the mitochondrial inner membrane potential. The results obtained lead to the conclusion that iodinated compounds are an attractive alternative to brominated ones. One of them retains the cytotoxicity against selected cancer cell lines of the reference TBBt with a smaller side effect on mitochondrial activity. Both iodinated compounds are candidate leaders in the further development of CK2 inhibitors.

Abstract
Novel 5,6-dichlorobenzimidazole nucleoside analogues structurally related to the well-known riboside DRB have been synthesized. The 1′,2′- trans nucleosides were prepared by condensation of peracylated sugars with 5,6-dichlorobenzimidazole, whereas the 1′,2′- cis β-D-arabinofuranosyl and β-D-lyxofuranosyl nucleosides were obtained by inversion of configuration on the sugar moiety. Chiral acyclic derivatives were stereospecifically prepared by ring-opening of furano- or pyrano-nucleosides by means of periodate oxidation, followed by borohydride reduction. The in vitro activities against a range of DNA and RNA viruses, as well as the cytotoxicities in human T-lymphocyte MT-4 cells, have been determined for these novel compounds and for DRB. No truly selective activity (i.e. clearly below the cytotoxic concentration) was observed against any of the viruses used. Some of the compounds, including DRB, were cytotoxic to MT-4 cells at CC50 values of less than 10 μg ml−1.

Abstract
The development of selective cell-permeable inhibitors of protein kinase CK2 has represented an important advance in the field. However, it is important to not overlook the existence of discrete molecular forms of CK2 that arise from the presence of distinct isozymic forms, and the existence of the catalytic CK2 subunits as free subunits and in complexes with the regulatory CK2beta subunits and, possibly, other proteins. This review examines two recently developed, and presently widely applied, CK2 inhibitors, 4,5,6,7-tetrabromobenzotriazole (TBBt) and the related 4,5,6,7-tetrabromobenzimidazole (TBBz), the latter of which was previously shown to discriminate between different molecular forms of CK2 in yeast. We have shown, by spectrophotometric titration, that TBBt, with a pK(a) approximately 5, exists in solution at physiological pH almost exclusively (>99%) as the monoanion; whereas TBBz, with a pKa approximately 9, is predominantly (>95%) in the neutral form, both of obvious relevance to their modes of binding. In vitro, TBBt inhibits different forms of CK2 with Ki values ranging from 80 to 210 nM. TBBz better discriminates between CK2 forms, with Ki values ranging from 70 to 510 nM. Despite their general similar in vitro activities, TBBz is more effective than TBBt in inducing apoptosis and, to a lesser degree, necrosis, in transformed human cell lines. Finally, development of shRNA strategies for the selective knockdown of the CK2alpha and CK2alpha' isoforms reinforces the foregoing results, indicating that inhibition of CK2 leads to attenuation of proliferation.

Abstract
We have previously reported that 2,5,6-trichloro-1-(beta-D-ribofuranosyl)benzimidazole (TCRB) and its 2-bromo analog (2-bromo-5,6-dichloro-1-(beta-D-ribofuranosy)benzimidazole [BDCRB]) are potent and selective inhibitors of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) replication that block viral DNA maturation via HCMV gene products UL89 and UL56. To determine if phosphorylation is required for antiviral activity, the in vitro metabolism of BDCRB was examined and the antiviral activities of nonphosphorylatable 5'-deoxy analogs were determined. Reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis of extracts from uninfected and HCMV-infected cells incubated with [(3)H]BDCRB revealed two major metabolites. Both were less polar than naturally occurring nucleoside monophosphates, but one peak coeluted with a BDCRB-5'-monophosphate (BDCRB-5'-MP) standard. Further analysis revealed, however, that neither metabolite partitioned with BDCRB-5'-MP on anion-exchange HPLC. Their retention patterns were not affected by incubation with alkaline phosphatase, thereby establishing that the compounds were not nucleoside 5'-monophosphates. Both compounds were detected in uninfected and HCMV-infected cells and in mouse live extracts, but neither has been identified. Like TCRB and BDCRB, the nonphosphorylatable 5'-deoxy analogs were potent and selective inhibitors of HCMV replication. The 5'-deoxy analogs maintained inhibition of HCMV replication upon removal of BDCRB, whereas an inhibitor of DNA synthesis did not. Similar to TCRB, its 5'-deoxy analog (5'-dTCRB) did not affect viral DNA synthesis, but 5'-dTCRB did inhibit viral DNA maturation to genome-length units. Additionally, virus isolates resistant to TCRB were also resistant to 5'-dTCRB and the 5'-deoxy analog of BDCRB. Taken together, these results confirm that TCRB, BDCRB, and their 5'-deoxy analogs have common mechanisms of action and establish that these benzimidazole ribonucleosides, unlike other antiviral nucleosides, do not require phosphorylation at the 5' position for antiviral activity.

Abstract
In AtT20 mouse corticotroph tumour cells large conductance Ca2+-activated K+-channels (BK-channels) have an essential role in the early glucocorticoid inhibition of adrenocorticotrophin (ACTH) secretion evoked by corticotrophin-releasing factor. The present study examined whether or not BK-channels are also pivotal to glucocorticoid inhibition of normal rat anterior pituitary cells. A membrane-permeant, non-metabolizable cyclic AMP analogue, 8-(4-Chlorophenylthio)adenosine-3',5'-cyclic-monophosphate (CPT-cAMP) was used as the primary secretagogue stimulus, as this mimics the increase of intracellular cyclic AMP caused by corticotrophin-releasing factor, but is not subject to the complex Ca2+-dependent regulation of cyclic AMP metabolism that is evident in corticotroph cells. Experiments in AtT20 cells showed that ACTH secretion stimulated by 1 mM CPT-cAMP was suppressed to 34+/-1.5% (n = 12) of the control stimulus by a maximal dose of 100 nM dexamethasone. The ACTH secretion evoked by the combination of 1 mM CPT-cAMP with either 5 microm (-)BayK8644 (L-type Ca2+-channel activator) or 5 mM TEA (K+-channel blocker) was respectively 69.1+/-7.6% and 69.3+/-11.8% of control after 2 h preincubation with 100 nM dexamethasone (P<0.05 vs CPT-cAMP). The ACTH response elicited by 5 microM (-)BayK8644 and 5 mM TEA given together was completely resistant to inhibition by 100 nM dexamethasone. Furthermore, TEA and (-)BayK8644 given together synergistically stimulated ACTH release in combination with 0.1 mM or 1 mM CPT-cAMP, and these ACTH responses were not inhibited by 100 nM dexamethasone. In primary cultures of rat anterior pituitary cells, TEA (up to 20 mM), charybdotoxin (30 nM) or apamin (100 nM) failed to modify the glucocorticoid inhibition of 0.1 mM CPT-cAMP-induced ACTH release. The combination of 5 mM TEA and 5 microM (-)BayK8644 elicited a small but significant increase in ACTH secretion but did not modify the inhibition of 0.3 mM CPT-cAMP-induced ACTH secretion by 100 nM dexamethasone. In primary cultures of rat anterior pituitary cells, depolarization of the membrane potential with 40 mM KCl enhanced the ACTH response to CPT-cAMP and markedly reduced the maximal inhibitory effect of dexamethasone to 55+/-1.2% as well as that of corticosterone to 33+/-2.1% vs 100+/-2.5% and 100+/-1.9% inhibition respectively, when 0.1 mM CPT-cAMP was used alone. Introduction of 5 microM (-)BayK8644 with 40 mM KCl in this system had no additional effect on glucocorticoid inhibition. No glucocorticoid inhibition of ACTH release to any of the stimuli applied was observed in cells pretreated with the mRNA synthesis inhibitor, 5,6-dichloro-furanosyl-benzimidazole riboside (DRB) (0.1 mM) or the protein synthesis blocker, puromycin (0.1 mM). In summary, early glucocorticoid inhibition of stimulated ACTH release by cultured rat anterior pituitary cells was dependent on the synthesis of new mRNA and protein. Depolarization of the membrane potential potentiated CPT-cAMP-induced ACTH secretion in AtT20 cells as well as cultured rat corticotrophs and this was associated with a resistance to the early inhibitory effect of glucocorticoids. Glucocorticoid inhibition in rat anterior pituitary corticotrophs was unaltered by TEA, charybdotoxin as well as apamin, and hence it is unlikely to involve predominantly BK-or SK-type Ca2+-activated K+-channels. These results support the thesis that a prime target of glucocorticoid feedback inhibition in anterior pituitary corticotrophs is the membrane potential and indicate that glucocorticoid-induced proteins regulate the activities of several distinct plasma membrane ion channels.

Abstract
Halogeno benzimidazole and benzimidazole nucleoside analogues have been screened for inhibitory activity vs. purified plant (maize seedling) casein kinases I, IIA and IIB, and the results compared with those previously reported for some of the compounds as inhibitors of the corresponding mammalian CK-1 and CK-2 (Meggio et al. (1990) Eur. J. Biochem. 187, 89-94). One new analogue, the riboside of 5,7-dibromobenzimidazole, which is sterically constrained to the anti conformation about the glycosidic bond, and is a good inhibitor, exhibited appreciable (5-7-fold) discrimination between the type I and type II enzymes. An increase in the number of halogen substituents on the benzene ring of benzimidazole from two to three led to marked enhancement of inhibitory activity, particularly against the type II enzymes, with a decrease in Ki from 24 to 4 microM. The 2-aza analogue of 5,6-dichlorobenzimidazole, i.e. 5,6-dichlorobenzotriazole, as the free base, even more effectively discriminated between the two types of plant casein kinases, with Ki approximately 100 microM for CK-I, and Ki approximately 9 microM for CK-IIA and CK-IIB. Inhibition in all instances was competitive with respect to ATP (for CK-I), and ATP and GTP (for CK-IIA and CK-IIB). The results are compared with those for halogenated isoquinolinesulfonamide inhibitors reported by Chijiwa et al. (J. Biol. Chem. (1989) 264, 4924-4927), leading to proposals for the synthesis of potentially more effective and more discriminating inhibitors. Attention is drawn to the significant role of the halogen substituents in the mechanism(s) of action of the structurally related benzimidazole, benzotriazole and naphthalene and isoquinoline, inhibitors of protein kinases.
