CuI-mediated cyclization methodology helped yield benzimidazoles with different substitution manner, such as 1,2-diarylbenzimidazoles (4 and 5) and 1-arylbenzimidazoles (6-15). The result of structure-activity relationship (SAR) study confirmed the significance of the 5,6,7-trimethoxybenzimidazole moiety, and the representative derivatives (8-10) exhibited marked antiproliferative activity against A549, HCT-116, and PC-3 cells; in addition, they are able to inhibit the polymerization of tubulin. Among them, compound 10 inhibited the growth of A549, HCT-116, and PC-3 cells with a mean IC value of 0.07 μM, and its IC value of tubulin polymerization is 0.26 μM.
碘化亚铜介导的环化方法有助于生成具有不同取代方式的苯并咪唑,例如1,2 - 二芳基苯并咪唑(4和5)以及1 - 芳基苯并咪唑(6 - 15)。构效关系(SAR)研究结果证实了5,6,7 - 三甲氧基苯并咪唑部分的重要性,代表性衍生物(8 - 10)对A549、HCT - 116和PC - 3细胞表现出显著的抗增殖活性;此外,它们能够抑制微管蛋白的聚合。其中,化合物10抑制A549、HCT - 116和PC - 3细胞生长的平均IC值为0.07 μM,其对微管蛋白聚合的IC值为0.
