Indole-Acrylonitrile Derivatives as Potential Antitumor and Antimicrobial Agents-Synthesis, In Vitro and In Silico Studies. Pharmaceuticals (Basel) 2023; 16:918. [PMID: 37513830 PMCID: PMC10386429 DOI: 10.3390/ph16070918] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/10/2023] [Revised: 06/16/2023] [Accepted: 06/20/2023] [Indexed: 07/30/2023] Open
Abstract
A series of 2-(1H-indol-2-yl)-3-acrylonitrile derivatives, 2a-x, 3, 4a-b, 5a-d, 6a-b, and 7, were synthesized as potential antitumor and antimicrobial agents. The structures of the prepared compounds were evaluated based on elemental analysis, IR, 1H- and 13NMR, as well as MS spectra. X-ray crystal analysis of the representative 2-(1H-indol-2-yl)-3-acrylonitrile 2l showed that the acrylonitrile double bond was Z-configured. All compounds were screened at the National Cancer Institute (USA) for their activities against a panel of approximately 60 human tumor cell lines and the relationship between structure and in vitro antitumor activity is discussed. Compounds of interest 2l and 5a-d showed significant growth inhibition potency against various tumor cell lines with the mean midpoint GI50 values of all tests in the range of 0.38-7.91 μM. The prominent compound with remarkable activity (GI50 = 0.0244-5.06 μM) and high potency (TGI = 0.0866-0.938 μM) against some cell lines of leukemia (HL-60(TB)), non-small cell lung cancer (NCI-H522), colon cancer (COLO 205), CNS cancer (SF-539, SNB-75), ovarian cancer ((OVCAR-3), renal cancer (A498, RXF 393), and breast cancer (MDA-MB-468) was 3-[4-(dimethylamino)phenyl]-2-(1-methyl-1H-indol-2-yl)acrylonitrile (5c). Moreover, the selected 2-(1H-indol-2-yl)-3-acrylonitriles 2a-c and 2e-x were evaluated for their antibacterial and antifungal activities against Gram-positive and Gram-negative pathogens as well as Candida albicans. Among them, 2-(1H-indol-2-yl)-3-(1H-pyrrol-2-yl)acrylonitrile (2x) showed the most potent antimicrobial activity and therefore it can be considered as a lead structure for further development of antimicrobial agents. Finally, molecular docking studies as well as drug-likeness and ADME profile prediction were carried out.

Abstract
A series of cyano- and amidino-substituted imidazo[4,5-b]pyridines were synthesized using standard methods of organic synthesis, and their biological activity was evaluated. Biological evaluation included in vitro assessment of antiproliferative effects on a diverse selection of human cancer cell lines, antibacterial activity against chosen Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial strains, and antiviral activity on a broad panel of DNA and RNA viruses. The most pronounced antiproliferative activity was observed for compound 10, which contained an unsubstituted amidino group, and compound 14, which contained a 2-imidazolinyl amidino group; both displayed selective and strong activity in sub-micromolar inhibitory concentration range against colon carcinoma (IC50 0.4 and 0.7 μM, respectively). All tested compounds lacked antibacterial activity, with the exception of compound 14, which showed moderate activity against E. coli (MIC 32 μM). Bromo-substituted derivative 7, which contained an unsubstituted phenyl ring (EC50 21 μM), and para-cyano-substituted derivative 17 (EC50 58 μM) showed selective but moderate activity against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV).

Abstract
Three new 4-styrylquinoline-benzimidazole hybrids have been synthesized using a reaction sequence in which 2-methylquinoline precursors first undergo selective oxidation by selenium dioxide to form the corresponding 2-formylquinoline intermediates, followed by oxidative cyclocondensation reactions with benzene-1,2-diamine to yield the hybrid products. The formyl intermediates and the hybrid products have all been fully characterized using a combination of IR, 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy, and high-resolution mass spectrometry, and the structures of the three hybrid products have been determined using single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Ethyl (E)-2-(1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)-4-(4-chlorostyryl)quinoline-3-carboxylate, C27H20ClN3O2, (IIIa), and ethyl (E)-2-(1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)-4-(2-methoxystyryl)quinoline-3-carboxylate, C28H23N3O3, (IIIb), both crystallize in the solvent-free form with Z' = 1, but ethyl (E)-2-(1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)-4-(4-methylstyryl)quinoline-3-carboxylate, C28H23N3O2, (IIIc), crystallizes as a partial hexane solvate with Z' = 3, and the ester group in one of the independent molecules is disordered over two sets of atomic sites having occupancies of 0.765 (7) and 0.235 (7). The molecules of (IIIc) enclose continuous channels which are occupied by disordered solvent molecules having partial occupancy. In all of the molecules of (IIIa)-(IIIc), the styrylquinoline fragment is markedly nonplanar. Different combinations of N-H...O and C-H...π hydrogen bonds generate supramolecular assemblies which are two-dimensional in (IIIb) and (IIIc), but three-dimensional in (IIIa). Comparisons are made with the structures of some related compounds.

Abstract
A novel series of 2-(benzimidazol-2-yl)quinoxalines with three types of pharmacophore groups, namely, piperazine, piperidine, and morpholine moieties, which are part of known antitumor drugs, was designed and synthesized. The compounds have been characterized by NMR and IR spectroscopy, high- and low-resolution mass spectrometry, and X-ray crystallography. 2-(Benzimidazol-2-yl)quinoxalines with N-methylpiperazine substituents showed promising activity against a wide range of cancer lines, without causing hemolysis and showing little cytotoxicity against normal human Wi-38 cells (human fetal lung). A mixture of regioisomers 2-(benzimidazol-2-yl)-3-(4-fluorophenyl)-6(and 7)-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)quinoxalines (mri BIQ 13da/14da) showed a highly selective cytotoxic effect against human lung adenocarcinoma (cell line A549) with a half-maximal inhibitory concentration at the level of doxorubicin with a selectivity index of 12. The data obtained by flow cytometry, fluorescence microscopy, and multiparametric fluorescence analysis suggested that the mechanism of the cytotoxic effect of the mri BIQ 13da/14da on A549 cells may be associated with the stopping of the cell cycle in phase S and inhibition of DNA synthesis as well as with the induction of mithochondrial apoptosis. Thus, mri BIQ 13da/14da can be considered as a leading compound deserving further study, optimization, and development as a new anticancer agent.

Abstract
A catalyst-free microwave-assisted annulation protocol for the preparation of biologically interesting pyrido-fused quinazolinones and pyrido[1,2-a]benzimidazoles is developed. This reaction involves the [3 + 3] annulation of various quinazolinones or benzimidazoles with 3-formylchromones to yield functionalized 11H-pyrido[2,1-b]quinazolin-11-one and pyrido[1,2-a] benzimidazole derivatives. This approach is successfully extended to the construction of various pyrazolo[4,3-d]pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-10(1H)-ones. The present approach is complementary to the existing synthetic methodologies and offers a rapid and facile approach with a broad substrate scope, good yields, catalyst-free conditions, and a high functional group tolerance. The optimal synthesized compound is also employed as an "on-off" photoluminescent probe for the selective detection of Fe3+ and Ag+ metal ions.

Abstract
Microtubules are cylindrical protein polymers formed from αβ-tubulin heterodimers in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells. Microtubule disturbance may cause cell cycle arrest in the G2/M phase, and anomalous mitotic spindles will form. Microtubules are an important target for cancer drug action because of their critical role in mitosis. Several microtubule-targeting agents with vast therapeutic advantages have been developed, but they often lead to multidrug resistance and adverse side effects. Thus, single-target therapy has drawbacks in the effective control of tubulin polymerization. Molecular hybridization, based on the amalgamation of two or more pharmacophores of bioactive conjugates to engender a single molecular structure with enhanced pharmacokinetics and biological activity, compared to their parent molecules, has recently become a promising approach in drug development. The practical application of combined active scaffolds targeting tubulin polymerization inhibitors has been corroborated in the past few years. Meanwhile, different designs and syntheses of novel anti-tubulin hybrids have been broadly studied, illustrated, and detailed in the literature. This review describes various molecular hybrids with their reported structural-activity relationships (SARs) where it is possible in an effort to generate efficacious tubulin polymerization inhibitors. The aim is to create a platform on which new active scaffolds can be modeled for improved tubulin polymerization inhibitory potency and hence, the development of new therapeutic agents against cancer.

Abstract
Newly designed and synthesized cyano, amidino and acrylonitrile 2,5-disubstituted furane derivatives with either benzimidazole/benzothiazole nuclei have been evaluated for antitumor and antimicrobial activity. For potential antitumor activity, the compounds were tested in 2D and 3D cell culture methods on three human lung cancer cell lines, A549, HCC827 and NCI-H358, with MTS cytotoxicity and BrdU proliferation assays in vitro. Compounds 5, 6, 8, 9 and 15 have been proven to be compounds with potential antitumor activity with high potential to stop the proliferation of cells. In general, benzothiazole derivatives were more active in comparison to benzimidazole derivatives. Antimicrobial activity was evaluated with Broth microdilution testing (according to CLSI (Clinical Laboratory Standards Institute) guidelines) on Gram-negative Escherichia coli and Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus. Additionally, Saccharomyces cerevisiae was included in testing as a eukaryotic model organism. Compounds 5, 6, 8, 9 and 15 showed the most promising antibacterial activity. In general, the compounds showed antitumor activity, higher in 2D assays in comparison with 3D assays, on all three cell lines in both assays. In natural conditions, compounds with such an activity profile (less toxic but still effective against tumor growth) could be promising new antitumor drugs. Some of the tested compounds showed antimicrobial activity. In contrast to ctDNA, the presence of nitro group or chlorine in selected furane-benzothiazole structures did not influence the binding mode with AT-DNA. All compounds dominantly bound inside the minor groove of AT-DNA either in form of monomers or dimer and higher-order aggregates.

Abstract
Quinoline is one of the most important and versatile nitrogen heterocycles embodied in several biologically active molecules. Within the numerous quinolines developed as antiproliferative agents, this review is focused on compounds interfering with DNA structure or with proteins/enzymes involved in the regulation of double helix functional processes. In this light, a special focus is given to the quinoline compounds, acting with classical/well-known mechanisms of action (DNA intercalators or Topoisomerase inhibitors). In particular, the quinoline drugs amsacrine and camptothecin (CPT) have been studied as key lead compounds for the development of new agents with improved PK and tolerability properties. Moreover, notable attention has been paid to the quinoline molecules, which are able to interfere with emerging targets involved in cancer progression, as G-quadruplexes or the epigenetic ones (e.g.: histone deacetylase, DNA and histones methyltransferase). The antiproliferative and the enzymatic inhibition data of the reviewed compounds have been analyzed. Furthermore, concerning the SAR (structure-activity relationship) aspects, the most recurrent ligand-protein interactions are summarized, underling the structural requirements for each kind of mechanism of action.

Abstract
This review presents the detailed account of factors leading to cancer and design strategy for the synthesis of benzimidazole derivatives as anticancer agents. The recent survey for cancer treatment in Cancer facts and figures 2017 American Chemical Society has shown progressive development in fighting cancer. Researchers all over the world in both developed and developing countries are in a continuous effort to tackle this serious concern. Benzimidazole and its derivatives showed a broad range of biological activities due to their resemblance with naturally occurring nitrogenous base i.e. purine. The review discussed benzimidazole derivatives showing anticancer properties through a different mechanism viz. intercalation, alkylating agents, topoisomerases, DHFR enzymes, and tubulin inhibitors. Benzimidazole derivatives act through a different mechanism and the substituents reported from the earlier and recent research articles are prerequisites for the synthesis of targeted based benzimidazole derivatives as anticancer agents. The review focuses on an easy comparison of the substituent essential for potency and selectivity through SAR presented in figures. This will further provide a better outlook or fulfills the challenges faced in the development of novel benzimidazole derivatives as anticancer.

Abstract
We present the design, synthesis and biological activity of novel N-substituted benzimidazole based acrylonitriles as potential tubulin polymerization inhibitors. Their synthesis was achieved using classical linear organic and microwave assisted techniques, starting from aromatic aldehydes and N-substituted-2-cyanomethylbenzimidazoles. All newly prepared compounds were tested for their antiproliferative activity in vitro on eight human cancer cell lines and one reference non-cancerous assay. N,N-dimethylamino substituted acrylonitriles 30 and 41, bearing N-isobutyl and cyano substituents placed on the benzimidazole nuclei, showed strong and selective antiproliferative activity in the submicromolar range of inhibitory concentrations (IC50 0.2-0.6 μM), while being significantly less toxic than reference systems docetaxel and staurosporine, thus promoting them as lead compounds. Mechanism of action studies demonstrated that two most active compounds inhibited tubulin polymerization. Computational analysis confirmed the suitability of the employed benzimidazole-acrylonitrile skeleton for the binding within the colchicine binding site in tubulin, thus rationalizing the observed antitumor activities, and demonstrated that E-isomers are active substances. It also provided structural determinants affecting both the binding position and the matching affinities, identifying the attached NMe2 group as the most dominant in promoting the binding, which allows ligands to optimize favourable cation∙∙∙π and hydrogen bonding interactions with Lys352.

Abstract
A novel series of benzimidazole derivatives with methoxylated aryl groups was designed and synthesized as molecules with potential cytotoxic activity. In vitro cytotoxic activity over HCT-116 cells showed that N-(benzimidazothiazolone)acetamides 11a, 11b and 11c were found to be the most cytotoxic compounds compared camptothecin (CPT). The tested compounds had a dual topoisomerase I-β (Topo I-β) and tubulin inhibiting activities when compared to CPT and Podophyllotoxin (Podo) where, compounds l0a, l0b, 11a and 11b exhibited a potent inhibitory activity on Topo I-β enzyme in nano-molar concentration, on the other hand, compounds 12b and 13b exhibited the best inhibitory activity β-tubulin polymerization. Results of the cell cycle analysis as well as the results of annexin-V on HCT-116 cells showed that benzimidazothiazoles 12b and 13b had a pro-apoptotic activity higher than CPT by 1.33- and 1.30-folds, respectively. Moreover, the concentration of p53, Bax/Bcl-2 ratio and caspase 3/7 increased in compounds l0b, 11b, l2b, 13b, especially, compounds 11b and 13b exhibited an increased level of these mediators than CPT. Finally, compound 11b regulated the radiosensitizing activity of the HCT-116 cells by modulating the chromosomal instability.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The aim of this review is to provide an overview on diverse anticancer activities of 2-substituted benzimidazole derivatives.
Main body
This review provides a correlation between the various mechanisms of action of benzimidazoles as anticancer and the substitution pattern around the nucleus.
Conclusion
The linker group and substitution at N-1, C-2, C-5, and C-6 positions have been found to be the most contributory factors for anticancer activity. This will help in the further design to afford more selective, potent, and multi-target anticancer of 2-substituted benzimidazole-based compounds.

Abstract
This work presents a systematic evaluation of 2-amino, 5-amino and 2,5-diamino substituted benzimidazo[1,2-a]quinoline-6-carbonitriles as novel pH probes with a potential application in pH sensing materials or as H+ fluoroionophores in bulk optode membranes. The study was carried out by varying the length, type and position of amino substituents in ten fluorescent dyes with the same benzimidazo[1,2-a]quinoline-6-carbonitrile core. The photophysical and acid-base properties of the dyes were investigated by the UV/Vis absorption and fluorescence spectroscopies, and interpreted by the electronic structure DFT calculations. pH sensing mechanisms and structure-property relations affecting the fluorescence response were discussed through a detailed analysis of the piperidine substituted derivatives 1-4. Push-pull donor-acceptor interactions stimulate strong fluorescence in the visible spectral range (up to Φ = 0.65 for 7) and induce significant changes in the photophysical properties associated with the acid-base equilibria (up to a 50-fold increase in the fluorescence intensity). pKa values in aqueous and mixed solutions (v/v H2O:EtOH 99:1, 50:50), appear suitable for monitoring acidic pH in solution. The most promising candidates were immobilised in thin polymer matrices by the spin coating technique to form fluorescent sensing materials - optodes, and examined as novel pH-sensitive fluoroionophores. In the liquid membrane environment, dyes exhibited significant increase of the apparent pKas by almost 4 units. Bright and blue emissive thin films showed pH response and dynamic range around pKa = 5, making them suitable for a wide range of optical sensing applications.

Abstract
Cancer is one of the most serious medical problem and second leading cause of death in the world, characterized by a deregulation of the cell cycle which mainly results in a progressive loss of cellular differentiation and uncontrolled cellular growth. The benzimidazole is a heterocyclic moiety found in extensive number of natural and biological active molecules. Benzimidazole derivatives might be considered as auxiliary isosters of nucleotides having attached heterocyclic cores in their structures, cooperate effortlessly with biopolymers and have potential action for chemotherapeutic applications. Benzimidazole and its derivatives displayed a wide range of biological activity because of its structural similarity with the naturally occurring nucleotides. Benzimidazole has established huge alertness in current time and is extremely significant heterocyclic pharmacophore in recent drug innovation and medicinal chemistry. The present review summarizes the chemistry of various substituted benzimidazole derivatives with their antiproliferative significance towards the various cancer cell lines such as HCT116, MCF7, HeLa, HepG2, A549 and A431.

Abstract
The aim of the present study is to synthesize cationic salts from a relatively toxic compound named 2-mercaptobenzimidazole and to evaluate some of their pharmacological properties. The acute toxicity of these salts is evaluated according to OECD 423 Guidelines at the doses of 300 and 2000 mg/kg; their peripheral analgesic effect is studied using the Koster test at the therapeutic dose of 200 mg/kg and their sedative action is evaluated using Traction, Chimney, Hole-board, and Rotarod tests at the doses of 200 and 400 mg/kg. All synthesized molecules show no acute toxicity according to OECD Code 423 guidelines at doses ranging from 300 to 2000 mg/kg and do not cause any obesity or anorexia. Also, the results of the Koster test show that the studied compounds have an average analgesic effect at the dose of 200 mg/kg compared to acetylsalicylic acid. In addition, the elaborated compounds have shown a moderate sedative effect at the dose of 400 mg/kg, in comparison to 2-mercaptobenzimidazole (400 mg/kg) and Bromazepam (20 mg/kg). These compounds have no cataleptic and hypnotic effects on the central nervous system at the doses of 200 and 400 mg/kg. These results argue in favor of a possible integration of the most active salts tested in the pharmaceutical industry owing to their analgesic and sedative effects.

Abstract
A sulfonic acid functionalized metal-organic framework (S-IRMOF-3) has been synthesized by dropwise addition of chlorosulfonic acid (0.5 mL) in IRMOF-3 (1 g) containing 20 mL of CHCl3 at 0 °C under simple stirring. The catalyst was applied in Knoevenagel condensation of various aromatic and hetero-aromatic aldehydes forming acrylonitrile derivatives. The catalyst was characterized thoroughly by using FT-IR, XRD, 13C MAS NMR, SEM, EDX, elemental mapping, TEM, BET, NH3-TPD and TGA/DTA techniques. The presence of characteristic bands at 1694 cm-1, 1254-769 cm-1 and 1033 cm-1 in the FT-IR spectrum, 2θ ≃ 6.7° and 9.8° in the XRD pattern and δ = 31.79, 39.55, 129.61, 131.46 (4C, CH), 133.54, 140.07 (2C), 167.71, 171.47 ppm (2C, 2C[double bond, length as m-dash]O) in the solid state 13C MAS NMR spectrum confirmed the successful formation of catalyst. This new eco-friendly approach resulted in a significant improvement in the synthetic efficiency (90-96% yield), high product purity, and minimizing the production of chemical wastes without using highly toxic reagents for the synthesis of acrylonitriles with selectivity for (Z)-isomer. Steric interactions seem to have an influence on the control of the Z-configurational isomers. By performing DFT calculations, it was found that the (Z)-isomer 3a is stabilized by 1.64 kcal mol-1 more than the (E)-isomer. The catalyst could be reused for five consecutive cycles without substantial loss in catalytic activity.

Abstract
A novel approach has been developed for the synthesis of three kinds of highly functionalized 2-aminopyridine derivatives (APDs) through a three-component reaction of 1,1-enediamines (EDAMs) 1, N,N-dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal (DMF-DMA) 2, and 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds 3-5 via a base-promoted cascade reaction, producing the desired products in good to excellent yields. This method represents a route to obtain a novel class of APDs in a concise, rapid, and practical manner. This approach is particularly attractive because of the following features: low cost, mild temperature, atom economy, high yields, and potential biological activity of the product.

[DOI: 10.2174/1570180815666180502115147] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
Background: Development of novel antimalarial agents has been one of the sought areas in
medicinal chemistry. In this study the same was done by virtual screening of in-house database on
developed QSAR model.
</P><P>
Methods: A six point pharmacophore model was generated (AADHRR.56) from 41 compounds using
PHASE module of Schrodinger software and used for pharmacophore based search. Docking studies of
the obtained hits were performed using GLIDE. Most promising hit was synthesized & biologically
evaluated for antimalarial activity.
</P><P>
Result: The best generated model was found to be statistically significant as it had a high correlation
coefficient r2= 0.989 and q2 =0.76 at 3 component PLS factor. The significance of hypothesis was also
confirmed by high Fisher ratio (F = 675.1) and RMSE of 0.2745. The model developed had good
predicted coefficient (Pearson R = 0.8826). The virtual screening on this model resulted in six hits,
which were docked against FP-2 enzyme. The synthesized compound displayed IC50 value of
0.27µg/ml against CQS (3D7) and 0.57μg/ml against CQR (RKL9).
</P><P>
Conclusion: 3D QSAR studies reviled that hydrophobic groups are important for anti-malarial activity
while H-donor is less desirable for the same. Electron withdrawing groups at R1 position favours the
activity. The biological activity data of the synthesized hit proved that the pharmacophore hypothesis
developed could be utilized for developing novel anti-malarial drugs.

Abstract
Antimalarial drug resistance has emerged as a threat for treating malaria, generating a need to design and develop newer, more efficient antimalarial agents. This research aimed to identify novel leads as antimalarials. Dual receptor mechanism could be a good strategy to combat developing drug resistance. A series of benzimidazole acrylonitriles containing 18 compounds were designed, synthesized and evaluated for cytotoxicity, heme binding, ferriprotoporphyrin IX biomineralisation inhibition, and falcipain-2 enzyme assay. Furthermore, in silico docking and MD simulation studies were also performed.The tests revealed quite encouraging results. Three compounds, viz. R-01 (0.69 μM), R-04 (1.60 μM), and R-08 (1.61 μM), were found to have high antimalarial activity. These compounds were found to be in bearable cytotoxicity limits and their biological assay suggested that they had inhibitory activity against falcipain-2 and hemozoin formation. The docking revealed the binding mode of benzimidazole acrylonitrile derivatives and MD simulation studies revealed that the protein-ligand complex was stable. The agents exhibit good hemozoin formation inhibition activity and, hence, may be utilized as leads to design a newer drug class to overcome the drug resistance of hemozoin formation inhibitors such as chloroquine.

Abstract
Cancer is a black spot on the face of humanity in this era of science and technology. Presently, several classes of anticancer drugs are available in the market, but issues such as toxicity, low efficacy and solubility have decreased the overall therapeutic indices. Thus, the search for new promising anticancer agents continues, and the battle against cancer is far from over. Imidazole is an aromatic diazole and alkaloid with anticancer properties. There is considerable interest among scientists in developing imidazoles as safe alternatives to anticancer chemotherapy. The present article describes the structural, chemical, and biological features of imidazoles. Several classes of imidazoles as anticancer agents based on their mode of action have been critically discussed. A careful observation has been made into pharmacologically active imidazoles with better or equal therapeutic effects compared to well-known imidazole-based anticancer drugs, which are available on the market. A brief discussion of the toxicities of imidazoles has been made. Finally, the current challenges and future perspectives of imidazole based anticancer drug development are conferred.

Abstract
Heterocyclic donor-π-acceptor molecular systems based on an N,N-dimethylamino phenylacrylonitrile benzimidazole skeleton have been characterised and are proposed for potential use in sensing applications. The benzimidazole moiety introduces a broad spectrum of useful multifunctional properties to the system including electron accepting ability, pH sensitivity and compatibility with biomolecules. The photophysical characterisation of the prototropic forms of these chromophores has been carried out in both solution and on immobilisation in polymer films. The experimental results are further supported by computational determination of pKa values. It is noticed that compound 3 forms nanoaggregates in aqueous solutions with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) at 600nm. All the systems demonstrate spectral pH sensitivity in acidic media which shifts towards near-neutral values upon immobilisation in polymer films or upon aggregation in an aqueous environment (compound 3). The structure-property relationships of these functional chromophores, involving their spectral characteristics, acid-base equilibria, pKa values and aggregation effects have been determined. Potential applications of the molecules as pH and biomolecular sensors are proposed based on their pH sensitivity and AIE properties.
