[PMID: 39126756 DOI: 10.1016/j.jinorgbio.2024.112690] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/23/2024] [Revised: 07/18/2024] [Accepted: 08/04/2024] [Indexed: 08/12/2024]
Abstract
Complexes [Cu(PI)2(H2O)](NO3)2 (1), [Cu(PBI)2(NO3)]NO3 (2), [Cu(TBI)2(NO3)]NO3 (3), [Cu(BBIP)2](ClO4)2 (4) and [Cu(BBIP)(CH3OH)(ClO4)2] (5) were synthesized from the reactions of Cu(II) salts with 2-(2'-pyridyl)imidazole (PI), (2-(2'-pyridyl)benzimidazole (PBI), 2-(4'-thiazolyl)-benzimidazole (TBI), 2,6-bis(benzimidazol-2-yl)-pyridine (BBIP), respectively. Their compositions and crystal structures were determined. Their in-vitro antitumor activities were screened on four cancer cell lines and one normal cell line (HL-7702) using cisplatin as the positive control. Complexes 2 and 4 show higher cytotoxicity than the other three complexes. The cytotoxicity of complex 2 are comparable to those for cisplatin, and the cytotoxicity for 4 are much higher than those for cisplatin. From a viewpoint of antitumor, 2 might be a nice choice on the tumor cell line of T24 because its IC50 values on T24 and HL-7702 are 15.03 ± 1.10 and 21.34 ± 0.35, respectively. Thus, a mechanistic study for complexes 2 and 4 on T24 cells was conducted. It revealed that they can reduce mitochondrial membrane potential and increase mitochondrial membrane permeability, resulting in increased intracellular ROS levels, Ca2+ inward flow, dysfunctional mitochondria and the eventual cell apoptosis. In conclusion, they can induce cell apoptosis through mitochondrial dysfunction. These findings could be useful in the development of new antitumor agents.

Identification of coumarin - benzimidazole hybrids as potential antibacterial agents: Synthesis, in vitro and in vivo biological assessment, and ADMET prediction. Bioorg Med Chem Lett 2024; 110:129881. [PMID: 38996936 DOI: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2024.129881] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/03/2024] [Revised: 06/14/2024] [Accepted: 07/08/2024] [Indexed: 07/14/2024]
Abstract
The direct-linked coumarin-benzimidazole hybrids, featuring aryl and n-butyl substituents at the N1-position of benzimidazole were synthesized through a Knoevenagel condensation reaction. This reaction involved the condensation of 1,2-diaminobenzene derivatives with coumarin-3-carboxylic acids in the presence of polyphosphoric acid (PPA) at 154 °C. The in vitro antibacterial potency of the hybrid molecules against different gram-positive and gram-negative bacterial strains led to the identification of the hybrids 6m and 6p with a MIC value of 6.25 μg/mL against a gram-negative bacterium, Klebsiella pneumonia ATCC 27736. Cell viability studies on THP-1 cells demonstrated that the compounds 6m and 6p were non-toxic at a concentration of 50 µM. Furthermore, in vivo efficacy studies using a murine neutropenic thigh infection model revealed that both compounds significantly reduced bacterial (Klebsiella pneumonia ATCC 27736) counts (more than 2 log) compared to the control group. Additionally, both compounds exhibited favorable physicochemical properties and drug-likeness characteristics. Consequently, these compounds hold promise as lead candidates for further development of effective antibacterial drugs.

Eur J Med Chem 2024; 275:116569. [PMID: 38852337 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejmech.2024.116569] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/01/2024] [Revised: 05/30/2024] [Accepted: 06/02/2024] [Indexed: 06/11/2024]
Abstract
Butyrylcholinesterase (BChE), also known as pseudocholinesterase and serum cholinesterase, is an isoenzyme of acetylcholinesterase (AChE). It mediates the degradation of acetylcholine, especially under pathological conditions. Proverbial pharmacological applications of BChE, its mutants and modulators consist of combating Alzheimer's disease (AD), influencing multiple sclerosis (MS), addressing cocaine addiction, detoxifying organophosphorus poisoning and reflecting the progression or prognosis of some diseases. Of interest, recent reports have shed light on the relationship between BChE and lipid metabolism. It has also been proved that BChE is going to increase abnormally as a compensator for AChE in the middle and late stages of AD, and BChE inhibitors can alleviate cognitive disorders and positively influence some pathological features in AD model animals, foreboding favorable prospects and potential applications. Herein, the selective BChE inhibitors and BChE-related multitarget-directed ligands published in the last three years were briefly summarized, along with the currently known pharmacological applications of BChE, aiming to grasp the latest research directions. Thereinto, some emerging strategies for designing BChE inhibitors are intriguing, and the modulators based on target combination of histone deacetylase and BChE against AD is unprecedented. Furthermore, the involvement of BChE in the hydrolysis of ghrelin, the inhibition of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) uptake, and the down-regulation of LDL receptor (LDLR) expression suggests its potential to influence lipid metabolism disorders. This compelling prospect likely stimulates further exploration in this promising research direction.

Abstract
In this work, a series of dibenzimidazole derivatives 1-4, act as highly reversible colorimetric and fluorescent pH chemosensor, were designed and synthesized. Excellent reversible pH response of these sensors could be found by a specific pH change through obvious fluorescent color changes. The response is not affected by common cations (including Al3+, Cu2+, Ca2+, Cd2+, Co2+, Cr3+, Mg2+, Na+, K+, Ni2+, Pb2+ and Zn2+) and anions (including F-, Cl-, Br-, I-, ClO4-, H2PO4-, HSO4-, HCO3- and CH3COO-). Notably, these sensors can be reused more than 10 times without losing functionality. Unlike previous reports, the distinct properties of 1-4 are attributed to the varied link groups. Based on comprehensive experimental data and mechanistic analyses, it is concluded that sensors 1-4 are promising candidates for use as highly reversible "on-off-on" fluorescence switches under precise pH control.

Abstract
New 2-(4-benzothiazol-2-yl-phenoxy)-1-(3,5-diphenyl-4,5-dihydro-pyrazol-1-yl)-ethanones (9a-o) have been designed and synthesized. All the synthesized compounds were characterized by thin layer chromatography and spectral analysis. The antiepileptic potential of the synthesized compounds has been tested by following standard animal screening models, including maximal electroshock (MES) and subcutaneous pentylenetetrazole (scPTZ) models. The neurotoxic and antidepression effects of the synthesized compounds were checked by utilizing rotarod apparatus, and motor impairment test (by actophotometer) respectively. The study concluded that compounds 9c, 9d, 9f, 9i, 9n, and 9o possessed good antiepileptic potential compared to standard drugs like carbamazepine and phenytoin. The results of the rotarod performance test also established them without any neurotoxicity. The motor impairment test revealed that the synthesized compounds are also good antidepressants. In-silico studies have been performed for calculation of pharmacophore pattern, prediction of pharmacokinetic properties which determine the eligibility of synthesized compounds as orally administered molecules and interactions with the target proteins. The result of in-silico studies reinforced results obtained by in vivo study of the synthesized compounds and their possible mechanism of antiepileptic action i. e. via inhibiting voltage-gated sodium channels (VGSCs) and gamma-aminobutyric acid-A receptor.

Abstract
An I(III)-catalyzed oxidative cyclization reaction using selectfluor as the oxidant was developed that converts ortho-substituted anilines to benzimidazoles. The mild reaction requires as little as 0.5 mol % of iodobenzene, and its scope is broad: electron-withdrawing or electron-releasing groups on the aniline portion are tolerated, and cyclic or acyclic N-alkylamines are permitted as ortho-substituents. Preliminary mechanistic investigations suggest that benzimidazole formation occurs via cationic reactive intermediates, and an intramolecular kinetic isotope effect of 1.98 ± 0.05 was measured.

Abstract
Benzimidazole heterocycles are of great importance in medicinal chemistry due to their applicability to a wide range of pharmacological targets, therefore representing a prototypical "privileged structure". In photopharmacology, azoheteroarene photoswitches have emerged as valuable tools for a variety of applications due to the high tuneability of their photophysical properties. Benzimidazole-based photoswitches could therefore enable the optically-controlled investigation of many pharmacological targets and find application in materials science. Here we report a combined experimental and computational investigation of such arylazobenzimidazoles, which allowed us to identify derivatives with near-quantitative bidirectional photoswitching using visible light and highly tuneable Z-isomer stability. We further demonstrate that arylazobenzimidazoles bearing a free benzimidazole N-H group not only exhibit efficient bidirectional photoswitching, but also excellent thermal Z-isomer stability, contrary to previously reported fast-relaxing Z-isomers of N-H azoheteroarenes. Finally, we describe derivatives which can be reversibly isomerized with cyan and red light, thereby enabling significantly "red-shifted" photocontrol over prior azoheteroarenes. The understanding gained in this study should enable future photopharmacological efforts by employing photoswitches based on the privileged benzimidazole structure.

Abstract
In this work, the cytotoxicity of monoclonal antibody (Cetuximab, Ce) and Fenbendazole (Fen), as well as their combination therapy were tested with the MTT assay. On the other side, Ce, Fen, and a combination between them were subjected to a colchicine-tubulin binding test, which was conducted and compared to Colchicine as a reference standard. Besides, Ce, Fen, and the combination of them were tested against the VEGFR-2 target receptor, compared to Sorafenib as the standard medication. Moreover, the qRT-PCR technique was used to investigate the levels of apoptotic genes (p53 and Bax) and anti-apoptotic gene (Bcl-2) as well. Also, the effect of Ce, Fen, and the combination of them on the level of ROS was studied. Furthermore, the cell cycle analysis and Annexin V apoptosis assay were carried out for Ce, Fen, and a combination of them. In addition, the molecular docking studies were used to describe the molecular levels of interactions for both (Fen and colchicine) or (Fen and sorafenib) within the binding pockets of the colchicine binding site (CBS) and vascular endothelial growth factor-2 receptor (VEGFR-2), respectively.

Abstract
Synthesis of imidazo-fused polyheterocyclic molecular frameworks, viz. imidazo[1,2-a]pyrrolo[3,4-e]pyridines, imidazo[2,1-a]pyrrolo[3,4-c]isoquinolines, and benzo[g]imidazo[1,2-a]quinoline-6,11-diones, has been achieved by the ruthenium(II)-catalyzed [4 + 2] C-H/N-H annulation of 2-alkenyl/2-arylimidazoles with N-substituted maleimides and 1,4-naphthoquinones. The developed protocol is operationally simple, exhibits broad substrate scope with excellent functional group tolerance, and provides the desired products in moderate to good yields. The mechanistic studies suggest that the reaction involves the formation of a C-C bond through Ru-catalyzed C(sp2)-H bond activation followed by intramolecular cyclization.

Compounds O-7 and O-10 showed impressive anti-proliferative activity across various tested cell lines, demonstrating selectivity indexes of 151.7 and 61.9, respectively. O-7 achieved an IC50 value of 0.236 ± 0.096 μM, while O-10 showed an IC50 value of 0.622 ± 0.13 μM against A549 cell lines. The induction of early-stage apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner further underscored the potential of O-7 and O-10 as effective anti-proliferative agents. O-7 and O-10 exhibited substantial inhibition of wound closure, with wound closure percentages decreasing from 23% at 0 μM to 0.43% and 2.62% at 20 μM, respectively. Colony formation reduction rates were impressive, with O-7 at 74.2% and O-10 at 81.2%. These results indicate that the O-7 and O-10 can impede cancer cell migration and have a high potential to curtail colony formation. The mode of action investigations for O-7 and O-10 revealed that O-7 could inhibit in vitro tubulin polymerization and disrupt the intracellular microtubule cytoskeleton. This disruption led to cell cycle arrest in the G2/M phase, indicating that O-7 exerts its anticancer activity through microtubule destabilization. However, O-10 shows a different mode of action than O-7 and requires further investigation. Overall, our study showcases the potential of the synthesized benzimidazole derivatives as novel and selective anticancer agents, motivating further exploration of their pharmacological properties and therapeutic applications.

Abstract
Heterocyclic compounds have been shown to be potential chemotherapeutic agents, especially the benzimidazole derivatives studied in this work. The ultimate goal in the search for biologically active and effective molecules is to commercialize a product whose stability must be reliable. Therefore, in the development of drugs, forced degradation experiments are performed under the environmental conditions to which they are subjected during transportation and storage to ensure quality and safety before marketing. Hydrolytic, thermal, photolytic, and degradation in the presence of hydrogen peroxide are experimental stress tests to which the newly synthesized compounds were subjected to gain insight into the degradation pathways of the analytes. Degradation of two benzimidazole derivatives was observed under all applied conditions while the major impact showed photolysis with ten and four degradation products, respectively. In total, eighteen major degradation products were detected and identified using high-resolution mass spectrometry. Computer models in the TEST program were applied to the proposed structures to evaluate the bioaccumulation factor, toxicity, and mutagenicity of the analyzed compounds, while density functional theory analysis (DFT) revealed factors affecting the vulnerability of systems towards exceeding acidic/basic conditions and H2O2.

Abstract
Protozoan parasites represent a significant risk for public health worldwide, afflicting particularly people in more vulnerable categories and cause large morbidity and heavy economic impact. Traditional drugs are limited by their toxicity, low efficacy, route of administration, and cost, reflecting their low priority in global health management. Moreover, the drug resistance phenomenon threatens the positive therapy outcome. This scenario claims the need of addressing more adequate therapies. Among the diverse strategies implemented, the medicinal chemistry efforts have also focused their attention on the benzimidazole nucleus as a promising pharmacophore for the generation of new drug candidates. Hence, the present review provides a global insight into recent progress in benzimidazole-based derivatives drug discovery against important protozoan diseases, such as malaria, leishmaniasis and trypanosomiasis. The more relevant chemical features and structure-activity relationship studies of these molecules are discussed for the purpose of paving the way towards the development of more viable drugs for the treatment of these parasitic infections.

Abstract
Heterocyclic molecules have fascinated a massive interest in medicinal chemistry. They are heterocyclic compounds that have gained significance due to their diverse variety of pharmacological activities. Benzimidazole is a heterocyclic compound consisting of benzene and imidazole rings. The ease of synthesis and the structural versatility of benzimidazole make it a promising scaffold for drug development. Many biological actions of benzimidazole derivatives have been well documented, including antibacterial, antiviral, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antitubercular, and anthelmintic properties. The mechanism of action of benzimidazole derivatives varies with their chemical structure and target enzyme. This review has explored numerous methods for producing benzimidazole derivatives as well as a broad range of pharmacological activities. SAR investigations are also discussed in this review as they provide crucial details regarding the essential structural qualities that benzimidazole derivatives must have in order to be biologically active, which could aid in the rational design of new drug candidates. Benzimidazole scaffold is an exclusive structure in drug design and discovery. Many new pharmaceutical drugs containing benzimidazole are anticipated to be available within the next ten years as a result of the extensive therapeutic applications of benzimidazole and its derivatives. This review inspired many researchers to develop more biologically active compounds bearing benzimidazole, expanding the scope of finding a remedy for other diseases. From this study, we concluded that 2-substituted benzimidazole was considered more extensively by researchers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Two significant families of compounds i.e. 1,3,4-oxadiazole and benzimidazole, have undergone extensive investigation into their pharmacological characteristics and possible therapeutic applications. Both classes have shown their potential in a variety of applications, and because of their synergistic interactions, they may have an even better therapeutic impact when combined. OBJECTIVES To produce a specific molecule with potent therapeutic properties, it is now common methods to combine at least two pharmacophores. This facilitates interaction with several targets, enhances biological functions, or eliminates adverse effects associated with them. CONCLUSION The synthesis of benzimidazole-1,3,4-oxadiazole hybrid compounds has recently involved the use of several synthetic techniques, all of which are detailed in the literature along with the advantages and disadvantages. It has been noted that the structure-activity relationship relates their pharmacological actions to their molecular structure. In order to set the stage for future research, the study aims to provide researchers with an effective toolbox and an understanding of benzimidazole and 1,3,4-oxadiazole hybrid compounds.

Abstract
The cannabinoid 2 receptor (CB2 R) has high therapeutic potential for multiple pathogenic processes, such as neuroinflammation. Pathway-selective ligands are needed to overcome the lack of clinical success and to elucidate correlations between pathways and their respective therapeutic effects. Herein, we report the design and synthesis of a photoswitchable scaffold based on the privileged structure of benzimidazole and its application as a functionally selective CB2 R "efficacy-switch". Benzimidazole azo-arenes offer huge potential for the broad extension of photopharmacology to a wide range of optically addressable biological targets. We used this scaffold to develop compound 10 d, a "trans-on" agonist, which serves as a molecular probe to study the β-arrestin2 (βarr2) pathway at CB2 R. βΑrr2 bias was observed in CB2 R internalization and βarr2 recruitment, while no activation occurred when looking at Gα16 or mini-Gαi . Overall, compound 10 d is the first light-dependent functionally selective agonist to investigate the complex mechanisms of CB2 R-βarr2 dependent endocytosis.

Abstract
Herein, we present how to synthesize thirteen new 1-(4-acetylphenyl)-3-alkylimidazolium salts by reacting 4-(1-H-imidazol-1-yl)acetophenone with a variety of benzyl halides that contain either electron-donating or electron-withdrawing groups. The structures of the new imidazolium salts were conformed using different spectroscopic methods (1H NMR, 13C NMR, 19F NMR, and FTIR) and elemental analysis techniques. Furthermore, these compounds' the carbonic anhydrase (hCAs) and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) enzyme inhibition activities were investigated. They showed a highly potent inhibition effect toward AChE and hCAs with Ki values in the range of 8.30 ± 1.71 to 120.77 ± 8.61 nM for AChE, 16.97 ± 2.04 to 84.45 ± 13.78 nM for hCA I, and 14.09 ± 2.99 to 69.33 ± 17.35 nM for hCA II, respectively. Most of the synthesized imidazolium salts appeared to be more potent than the standard inhibitor of tacrine (TAC) against AChE and Acetazolamide (AZA) against CA. In the meantime, to prospect for potential synthesized imidazolium salt inhibitor(s) against AChE and hCAs, molecular docking and an ADMET-based approach were exerted.

Abstract
Chemotherapy is the mainstay in the treatment of breast cancer. However, many drugs that are commonly used in clinical practice have a high incidence of side effects and multidrug resistance (MDR), which is mainly caused by overexpression of drug transporters and related enzymes in breast cancer cells. In recent years, researchers have been working hard to find newer and safer drugs to overcome MDR in breast cancer. In this review, we provide the molecule mechanism of MDR in breast cancer, categorize potential lead compounds that inhibit single or multiple drug transporter proteins, as well as related enzymes. Additionally, we have summarized the structure-activity relationship (SAR) based on potential breast cancer MDR modulators with lower side effects. The development of novel approaches to suppress MDR is also addressed. These lead compounds hold great promise for exploring effective chemotherapy agents to overcome MDR, providing opportunities for curing breast cancer in the future.

Abstract
Heterocyclic amines and acetamide derivatives are known for their chemotherapeutic potential. Hence, in the present study, morpholine was taken as a principal product and novel morpholine derivatives were designed, formulated, characterized, and screened for the mechanism of inhibition of carbonic anhydrase and their anticancer potential. In addition, in vitro inhibition of hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) protein was also investigated. Results revealed that compounds 1c, 1d, and 1h possessed significant inhibitory activities against carbonic anhydrase with IC50 of 8.80, 11.13, and 8.12 μM, respectively. Interestingly, the carbonic anhydrase inhibitory activity of compound 1h was comparable with that of standard acetazolamide (IC50 7.51 μM). The compounds 1h and 1i significantly inhibited the proliferation of ovarian cancer cell line ID8 with IC50 of 9.40, and 11.2 μM, respectively while the standard cisplatin exhibited an IC50 8.50 μM. In addition, compounds 1c, 1b, 1h and 1i also exhibited significant inhibitory effects on HIF-1α. In conclusion, we report first time the biological potential of morpholine based compounds against ovarian cancer and HIF-1α that may serve as lead molecules for drug discovery.

A Review on Five and Six-Membered Heterocyclic Compounds Targeting the Penicillin-Binding Protein 2 (PBP2A) of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Molecules 2023; 28:7008. [PMID: 37894491 PMCID: PMC10609489 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28207008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/08/2023] [Revised: 10/05/2023] [Accepted: 10/05/2023] [Indexed: 10/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Staphylococcus aureus is a common human pathogen. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections pose significant and challenging therapeutic difficulties. MRSA often acquires the non-native gene PBP2a, which results in reduced susceptibility to β-lactam antibiotics, thus conferring resistance. PBP2a has a lower affinity for methicillin, allowing bacteria to maintain peptidoglycan biosynthesis, a core component of the bacterial cell wall. Consequently, even in the presence of methicillin or other antibiotics, bacteria can develop resistance. Due to genes responsible for resistance, S. aureus becomes MRSA. The fundamental premise of this resistance mechanism is well-understood. Given the therapeutic concerns posed by resistant microorganisms, there is a legitimate demand for novel antibiotics. This review primarily focuses on PBP2a scaffolds and the various screening approaches used to identify PBP2a inhibitors. The following classes of compounds and their biological activities are discussed: Penicillin, Cephalosporins, Pyrazole-Benzimidazole-based derivatives, Oxadiazole-containing derivatives, non-β-lactam allosteric inhibitors, 4-(3H)-Quinazolinones, Pyrrolylated chalcone, Bis-2-Oxoazetidinyl macrocycles (β-lactam antibiotics with 1,3-Bridges), Macrocycle-embedded β-lactams as novel inhibitors, Pyridine-Coupled Pyrimidinones, novel Naphthalimide corbelled aminothiazoximes, non-covalent inhibitors, Investigational-β-lactam antibiotics, Carbapenem, novel Benzoxazole derivatives, Pyrazolylpyridine analogues, and other miscellaneous classes of scaffolds for PBP2a. Additionally, we discuss the penicillin-binding protein, a crucial target in the MRSA cell wall. Various aspects of PBP2a, bacterial cell walls, peptidoglycans, different crystal structures of PBP2a, synthetic routes for PBP2a inhibitors, and future perspectives on MRSA inhibitors are also explored.

Abstract
In antimalarial drug development research, overcoming drug resistance has been a major challenge for researchers. Nowadays, several drugs like chloroquine, mefloquine, sulfadoxine, and artemisinin are used to treat malaria. But increment in drug resistance has pushed researchers to find novel drugs to tackle drug resistance problems. The idea of using transition metal complexes with pharmacophores as ligands/ligand pendants to show enhanced antimalarial activity with a novel mechanism of action has gained significant attention recently. The advantages of metal complexes include tunable chemical/physical properties, redox activity, avoiding resistance factors, etc. Several recent reports have successfully demonstrated that the metal complexation of known organic antimalarial drugs can overcome drug resistance by showing enhanced activities than the parent drugs. This review has discussed the fruitful research works done in the past few years falling into this criterion. Based on transition metal series (3d, 4d, or 5d), the antimalarial metal complexes have been divided into three broad categories (3d, 4d, or 5d metal-based), and their activities have been compared with the similar control complexes as well as the parent drugs. Furthermore, we have also commented on the potential issues and their possible solution for translating these metal-based antimalarial complexes into the clinic.

The Case of a Selenium-Based Ligand. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:11797.

Abstract
We set up an in silico experiment and designed a chimeric compound integrating molecular features from different efficient ROS (Reactive Oxygen Species) scavengers, with the purpose of investigating potential relationships between molecular structure and antioxidant activity. Furthermore, a selenium centre was inserted due to its known capacity to reduce hydroperoxides, acting as a molecular mimic of glutathione peroxidase; finally, since this organoselenide is a precursor of a N-heterocyclic carbene ligand, its Au(I) carbene complex was designed and examined. A validated protocol based on DFT (Density Functional Theory) was employed to investigate the radical scavenging activity of available sites on the organoselenide precursor ((SMD)-M06-2X/6-311+G(d,p)//M06-2X/6-31G(d)), as well as on the organometallic complex ((SMD)-M06-2X/SDD (Au), 6-311+G(d,p)//ZORA-BLYP-D3(BJ)/TZ2P), considering HAT (Hydrogen Atom Transfer) and RAF (Radical Adduct Formation) regarding five different radicals. The results of this case study suggest that the antioxidant potential of chemical motifs should not be considered as an additive property when designing a chimeric compound, but rather that the relevance of a molecular topology is derived from a chemical motif combined with an opportune chemical space of the molecule. Thus, the direct contributions of single functional groups which are generally thought of as antioxidants per se do not guarantee the efficient radical scavenging potential of a molecular species.

Abstract
Herein we present the design and the synthesis of novel substituted coumarin-benzimidazole/benzothiazole hybrids bearing a cyclic amidino group on the benzazole core as biologically active agents. All prepared compounds were evaluated for their in vitro antiviral and antioxidative activity as well as for their in vitro antiproliferative activity against a panel of several human cancer cell lines. Coumarin-benzimidazole hybrid 10 (EC50 9.0-43.8 μM) displayed the most promising broad spectrum antiviral activity, while two other coumarin-benzimidazole hybrids 13 and 14 showed the highest antioxidative capacity in the ABTS assay, superior to the reference standard BHT (IC50 0.17 and 0.11 mM, respectively). Computational analysis supported these results and demonstrated that these hybrids benefit from the high C-H hydrogen atom releasing tendency of the cationic amidine unit, and the pronounced ease with which they can liberate an electron, promoted by the electron-donating diethylamine group on the coumarin core. The coumarin ring substitution at position 7 with a N,N-diethylamino group also caused a significant enhancement of the antiproliferative activity, with the most active compounds being derivatives with a 2-imidazolinyl amidine group 13 (IC50 0.3-1.9 μM) and benzothiazole derivative with a hexacyclic amidine group 18 (IC50 1.3-2.0 μM).

Abstract
Monomers of benzimidazole trapped in an argon matrix at 15 K were characterized by vibrational spectroscopy and identified as 1H-tautomers exclusively. The photochemistry of matrix-isolated 1H-benzimidazole was induced by excitations with a frequency-tunable narrowband UV light and followed spectroscopically. Hitherto unobserved photoproducts were identified as 4H- and 6H-tautomers. Simultaneously, a family of photoproducts bearing the isocyano moiety was identified. Thereby, the photochemistry of benzimidazole was hypothesized to follow two reaction pathways: the fixed-ring and the ring-opening isomerizations. The former reaction channel results in the cleavage of the NH bond and formation of a benzimidazolyl radical and an H-atom. The latter reaction channel involves the cleavage of the five-membered ring and concomitant shift of the H-atom from the CH bond of the imidazole moiety to the neighboring NH group, leading to 2-isocyanoaniline and subsequently to the isocyanoanilinyl radical. The mechanistic analysis of the observed photochemistry suggests that detached H-atoms, in both cases, recombine with the benzimidazolyl or isocyanoanilinyl radicals, predominantly at the positions with the largest spin density (revealed using the natural bond analysis computations). The photochemistry of benzimidazole therefore occupies an intermediate position between the earlier studied prototype cases of indole and benzoxazole, which exhibit exclusively the fixed-ring and the ring-opening photochemistries, respectively.

Abstract
It is well known that heterocyclic compounds play a key role in improving drug activity, target selectivity, physicochemical properties as well as reducing toxicity. In this review, we summarized the representative heterocyclic structures involved in hit compounds which were obtained from DNA-encoded library from 2013 to 2021. In some examples, the state of the art in heterocycle-based DEL synthesis and hit-to-lead optimization are highlighted. We hope that more and more novel heterocycle-based DEL toolboxes and in-depth pharmaceutical research on these lead compounds can be developed to accelerate the discovery of new drugs.

Abstract
Benzimidazole (BI) and its derivatives are interesting molecules in medicinal chemistry because several of these compounds have a diversity of biological activities and some of them are even used in clinical applications. In view of the importance of these compounds, synthetic chemists are still interested in finding new procedures for the synthesis of these classes of compounds. Astemizole (antihistaminic), Omeprazole (antiulcerative), and Rabendazole (fungicide) are important examples of compounds used in medicinal chemistry containing BI nuclei. It is interesting to observe that several of these compounds contain 2-aminobenzimidazole (2ABI) as the base nucleus. The structures of 2ABI derivatives are interesting because they have a planar delocalized structure with a cyclic guanidine group, which have three nitrogen atoms with free lone pairs and labile hydrogen atoms. The 10-π electron system of the aromatic BI ring conjugated with the nitrogen lone pair of the hexocyclic amino group, making these heterocycles to have an amphoteric character. Synthetic chemists have used 2ABI as a building block to produce BI derivatives as medicinally important molecules. In view of the importance of the BIs, and because no review was found in the literature about this topic, we reviewed and summarized the procedures related to the recent methodologies used in the N-substitution reactions of 2ABIs by using aliphatic and aromatic halogenides, dihalogenides, acid chlorides, alkylsulfonic chlorides, carboxylic acids, esters, ethyl chloroformates, anhydrides, SMe-isothioureas, alcohols, alkyl cyanates, thiocyanates, carbon disulfide and aldehydes or ketones to form Schiff bases. The use of diazotized 2ABI as intermediate to obtain 2-diazoBIs was included to produce Nsubstituted 2ABIs of pharmacological interest. Some commentaries about their biological activity were included.

Abstract
Benzimidazole scaffolds became an attractive subject due to their broad spectrum of pharmacological activities. In this work, a methodology was developed for the synthesis of N-substituted benzimidazole derivatives from benzimidazoles and α, β-unsaturated compounds (acrylonitriles, acrylate esters, phenyl vinyl sulfone) catalyzed by lipase TL IM from Thermomyces lanuginosus in continuous-flow microreactors. Investigations were conducted on reaction parameters such as solvent, substrate ratio, reaction temperature, reactant donor/acceptor structures, and reaction time. The transformation is promoted by inexpensive and readily available lipase in methanol at 45 °C for 35 min. A wide range of β-amino sulfone, β-amino nitrile, and β-amino carbonyl compounds were efficiently and selectively synthesized in high yields (76–97%). All in all, a microfluidic biocatalysis system was applied to the synthesis of N-substituted benzimidazole derivatives, and could serve as a promising fast synthesis strategy for further research to develop novel and highly potent active drugs.

Abstract
A new protocol is herein described for the direct generation of alkylated indolo/benzoimidazo[2,1-a]isoquinolin-6(5H)-one derivatives by using Hantzsch esters as alkylation radical precursors using a photoredox/K2S2O8 system. This oxidative alkylation of active alkenes involves a radical cascade cyclization process and a sequence of Hantzsch ester single electron oxidation, C-C bond cleavage, alkylation, arylation and oxidative deprotonation.

Abstract
An electroanalytical electrode for the detection of albendazole (ABZ) active ingredient in pharmaceutical dosage form and in contaminated animal-derived products was developed using a glassy carbon electrode modified with platinum-palladium nanoparticles. The electro-catalytic performance of the bimetallic-modified glassy carbon electrode was compared with its bare counterpart. Under optimized conditions, the modified electrode revealed two well-resolved anodic peak currents at 1.10 and 1.23 V using differential pulse voltammetry. Pure ABZ, as well as ABZ in spiked foods (milk and chicken), were detected with little interference from the food matrix. This electrode demonstrated high sensitivity and applicability, with a lower limit of detection of 0.08 µmol L-1 in aqueous solution and 10 µmol L-1 in the contaminated ground chicken and 100 µmol L-1 in the contaminated milk sample. The fabricated sensor is low in cost and appropriate for the estimation of albendazole in tablet dosage forms and biological samples, and so can act as a quality control tool in the pharmaceutical and food industry.

Abstract
In agricultural fields, pesticides are widely used, but their residual presence in the environment poses a threat to humans, animals, insects, and ecosystems. The overuse of pesticides for pest control, enhancement of crop yield, etc. leaves behind a significant residual amount in the environment. Various robust, reliable, and reusable methods using a wide class of composites have been developed for the monitoring and controlling of pesticides. Researchers have discovered that carbon nanomaterials have a wide range of characteristics such as high porosity, conductivity and easy electron transfer that can be successfully used to detect pesticide residues from food. This review emphasizes the role of carbon nanomaterials in the field of pesticide residue analysis in different food matrices. The carbon nanomaterials including carbon nanotubes, carbon dots, carbon nanofibers, graphene/graphene oxides, and activated carbon fibres are discussed in the review. In addition, the review examines future prospects in this research area to help improve detection techniques for pesticides analysis.

Abstract
The control of postprandial hyperglycemia is an important target in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). As a result, targeting α-glucosidase as the most important enzyme in the breakdown of carbohydrates to glucose that leads to an increase in postprandial hyperglycemia is one of the treatment processes of T2DM. In the present work, a new class of benzimidazole-Schiff base hybrids 8a–p has been developed based on the potent reported α-glucosidase inhibitors. These compounds were synthesized by sample recantations, characterized by 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, FT-IR, and CHNS elemental analysis, and evaluated against α-glucosidase. All new compounds, with the exception of inactive compound 8g, showed excellent inhibitory activities (60.1 ± 3.6–287.1 ± 7.4 µM) in comparison to acarbose as the positive control (750.0 ± 10.5). Kinetic study of the most potent compound 8p showed a competitive type of inhibition (Ki value = 60 µM). In silico induced fit docking and molecular dynamics studies were performed to further investigate the interaction, orientation, and conformation of the title new compounds over the active site of α-glucosidase. In silico druglikeness analysis and ADMET prediction of the most potent compounds demonstrated that these compounds were druglikeness and had satisfactory ADMET profile.

Abstract
Nematode parasites of humans, livestock and crops dramatically impact human health and welfare. Alarmingly, parasitic nematodes of animals have rapidly evolved resistance to anthelmintic drugs, and traditional nematicides that protect crops are facing increasing restrictions because of poor phylogenetic selectivity. Here, we exploit multiple motor outputs of the model nematode C. elegans towards nematicide discovery. This work yielded multiple compounds that selectively kill and/or immobilize diverse nematode parasites. We focus on one compound that induces violent convulsions and paralysis that we call nementin. We find that nementin stimulates neuronal dense core vesicle release, which in turn enhances cholinergic signaling. Consequently, nementin synergistically enhances the potency of widely-used non-selective acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitors, but in a nematode-selective manner. Nementin therefore has the potential to reduce the environmental impact of toxic AChE inhibitors that are used to control nematode infections and infestations. A C. elegans-based screening approach identifies nementin as a nematode-selective nematicide that can be used synergistically with acetylcholinesterase inhibitors

Abstract
A new series of pyrazolo-benzimidazole hybrid Mannich bases were synthesized, characterized by 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, IR, UV-Vis, MS, and elemental analysis. In vitro cytotoxicity of the new compounds studied on fibroblast cells showed that the newly synthesized pyrazolo-benzimidazole hybrid derivatives were noncytotoxic until the concentration of 1 μM and two compounds presented a high degree of biocompatibility. The antibacterial and antibiofilm activity of the newly synthesized compounds was assayed on Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus ATCC25923, Enterococcus faecalis ATCC29212, and Gram-negative Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC27853, Escherichia coli ATCC25922 strains. All synthesized compounds 5a–g are more active against all three tested bacterial strains Staphylococcus aureus ATCC25923, Enterococcus faecalis ATCC29212, and Escherichia coli ATCC25922 than reference drugs (Metronidazole, Nitrofurantoin), with the exception of compounds 5d and 5g, which are less active compared to Nitrofurantoin, and all synthesized compounds 5a–g are more active against Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC27853 compared to reference drugs (Metronidazole, Nitrofurantoin). Compound 5f showed the best activity against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923, with a MIC of 150 μg/mL and has also inhibited the biofilm formed by all the bacterial strains, having an MBIC of 310 µg/mL compared to the reference drugs (Metronidazole, Nitrofurantoin).

Abstract
Herein, we report for the first time a transition-metal-free frustrated Lewis pair (FLP) catalyzed CHF2 group migration from an oxygen atom to the neighboring nitrogen atom, which led to the synthesis of N-substituted benzimidazoles at room temperature with excellent yields, broad functional group tolerance, and a short reaction time. The oxygen-attached difluoromethane acted as a C1 source in the synthesis of N-substituted benzimidazoles in the presence of AlCl3 by cleaving one C-O bond and two C-F bonds, resulting in formation of two new C-N bonds.

Abstract
Drugs, in general, exhibit their pharmacological activity in binding with intracellular targets. Numerous anticancer and antibacterial drugs target DNA as one of their primary intracellular targets. Dexlansoprazole (DLP) is a heterocyclic compound containing benzimidazole moiety and a proton pump inhibitor used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease. The interaction of dexlansoprazole with calf thymus DNA (ct-DNA) has been studied using biophysical methods. The UV-Visible studies revealed a binding constant of 2.15 ± 0.3 × 104 M-1 which is close to the value of 2.44 ± 0.3 × 104 M-1 obtained from the fluorescence studies. Competitive displacement studies using the fluorescence spectroscopic method with ethidium bromide and Hoechst as DNA markers suggested the groove binding mode of DLP in ct-DNA. The groove binding mode of DLP in ct-DNA was complemented by the results of viscosity and DNA melting studies. Further studies on the effect of ionic strength and potassium iodide on DLP binding with ct-DNA supported the observed binding mode. Circular dichroism studies reflected no significant conformational variation in ct-DNA after the interaction. The binding mode obtained from the experimental studies was corroborated by the molecular docking studies that showed the position of DLP in the minor groove of ct-DNA along with the receptor interface restudies involved in the interaction.

Abstract
A palladium(II)-catalyzed protocol for inactive β-C(sp3)-H bond functionalization has been first accomplished. The reaction proceeds through five-membered carbocycles for the formation of C-C bonds via the Pd(II)/Pd(IV) cycle. This reaction was carried out with various aryl iodides and benzothiazoles/benzoxazoles/benzimidazoles, which were well-tolerated in this reaction and successfully generated β-C(sp3)-H arylated products. Further implementation of this batch protocol to continuous flow by utilizing a PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) capillary reactor enhanced the reaction efficiency and decreased the reaction time (18.4 min) as compared to batch conditions (8 h). Even on the gram scale, the process produced excellent yield with negligible diarylations. Functional group tolerance, a continuous-flow approach, and easy-to-handle reaction conditions make this inactive β-C(sp3)-H bond functionalization protocol very attractive.
