Background: Various analogues of benzimidazole are found to be biologically and therapeutically potent against several ailments. Benzimidazole when attached with heterocyclic rings has shown wide range of potential activities. So, from the above provided facts, we altered benzimidazole derivatives so that more potent antagonists could be developed. In the search for a new category of antimicrobial and anticancer agents, novel azomethine of 2-mercaptobenzimidazole derived from 3-(2- (1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-ylthio)acetamido)benzohydrazide were synthesized. Results and Discussion: The synthesized analogues were characterized by FT-IR, 1H/13C-NMR and MS studies as well C, H, N analysis. All synthesized compounds were evaluated for in vitro antibacterial activity against Gram-positive (B. subtilis), Gram-negative (E. coli, P. aeruginosa, K. pneumoniae and S. typhi) strains and in vitro antifungal activity against C. albicans and A. niger strains by serial dilution method, the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) described in μM/ml. The in vitro anticancer activity of synthesized compounds was determined against human colorectal carcinoma cell line (HCT- 116) using 5-fluorouracil as standard drug. Conclusion: In general, most of the synthesized derivatives exhibited significant antimicrobial and anticancer activities. Compounds 8, 10, 15, 16, 17, 20 and 22 showed significant antimicrobial activity towards tested bacterial and fungal strains and compound 26 exhibited significant anticancer activity.

: A series of 2-heteroaryl benzimidazole-chalcone hybrids were synthesized and the anticancer activity was estimated by MTT assay in human breast, lung, colon, and ovarian cancer cell lines. The biological results indicate that the compounds showed good anticancer activity with a range of IC50 values 0.056-19.5 µM. Compound 11b with hexa methoxy groups, bearing three methoxy groups on each terminal aryl ring exhibited a significant IC50 value (56 nM) against human breast carcinoma cells, which is 37 times higher potency in comparison with the reference Etoposide. Further compounds substituted variably with methoxy and nitro groups on the phenyl ring of chalcone showed more promising anticancer activity than the compounds with unsubstituted phenyl ring or variably alkyl-substituted phenyl ring of chalcone. The molecular docking results indicate that the synthesized compounds bind in the active site of Abl tyrosine kinase, the target of anticancer drug Imatinib. The present study provides the synergistic effect of hybrids, benzimidazole-chalcones as potential anticancer agents and will aid in the discovery of new anticancer agents.

Background: Increased rate of mortality due to the development of resistance to currently available antimicrobial and anticancer agents initiated the need to develop new chemical entities for the treatment of microbial infections and cancer. Objective: The present study was aimed to synthesize and evaluate antimicrobial and anticancer activities of Schiff bases of 2-mercaptobenzimidazole. Methods: The Schiff bases of 2-mercaptobenzimidazole were synthesized from 4-(2-(1H-benzo[d]- imidazol-2-ylthio)acetamido)benzohydrazide. The synthesized compounds were evaluated for antimicrobial and anticancer activities by tube dilution method and Sulforhodamine-B (SRB) assay, respectively. Results: Compounds 8 (MICpa, an = 2.41, 1.20 µM/ml), 10 (MICse, sa = 2.50 µM/ml), 20 (MICec = 2.34 µM/ml) and 25 (MICca = 1.46 µM/ml) showed significant antimicrobial activity against tested bacterial and fungal strains and compounds 20 (IC50 = 8 µg/ml) and 23 (IC50 = 7 µg/ml) exhibited significant anticancer activity. Conclusion: In general, the synthesized derivatives exhibited moderate antimicrobial and anticancer activities. Compounds 8 and 25 having high antifungal potential among the synthesized compounds may be taken as lead molecules for the development of novel antifungal agents.

Aim: Literature reports suggest spirochromanone derivatives exhibit anticancer activity. Methodology: The authors designed and synthesized 18 spirochromanone derivatives (Csp 1–18). The compounds were characterized and evaluated for anticancer activity against human breast cancer (MCF-7) and murine melanoma (B16F10) cell lines. Results: The anticancer activity ranged from 4.34 to 29.31 μm. The most potent compounds, Csp 12 and Csp 18, were less toxic against the human embryonic kidney (HEK-293) cell line and ∼ two/∼four fold selective toward MCF-7 than B16F10 in comparison to the reference, BG-45. Csp 12 caused 28.6% total apoptosis, leading to significant cytotoxicity, and arrested the G2 phase of the cell cycle in B16F10 cells. A molecular docking study of Csp 12 exhibited effective binding at the active site of the epidermal growth factor receptor kinase domain. Conclusion: This study highlights the importance of spirochromanones as anticancer agents.

The chalcone and quinoline scaffolds are frequently utilized to design novel anticancer agents. As the continuation of our work on effective anticancer agents, we assumed that linking chalcone fragment to the quinoline scaffold through the principle of molecular hybridization strategy could produce novel compounds with potential anticancer activity. Therefore, quinoline-chalcone derivatives were designed and synthesized, and we explored their antiproliferative activity against MGC-803, HCT-116, and MCF-7 cells. Among these compounds, compound 12e exhibited a most excellent inhibitory potency against MGC-803, HCT-116, and MCF-7 cells with IC50 values of 1.38, 5.34, and 5.21 µM, respectively. The structure–activity relationship of quinoline-chalcone derivatives was preliminarily explored in this report. Further mechanism studies suggested that compound 12e inhibited MGC-803 cells in a dose-dependent manner and the cell colony formation activity of MGC-803 cells, arrested MGC-803 cells at the G2/M phase and significantly upregulated the levels of apoptosis-related proteins (Caspase3/9 and cleaved-PARP) in MGC-803 cells. In addition, compound 12e could significantly induce ROS generation, and was dependent on ROS production to exert inhibitory effects on gastric cancer cells. Taken together, all the results suggested that directly linking chalcone fragment to the quinoline scaffold could produce novel anticancer molecules, and compound 12e might be a valuable lead compound for the development of anticancer agents.
