The medicinal panorama of benzimidazoles and their scaffolds as anticancer and antithrombotic agents: A review.

Nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffolds have become a prospective pharmacophore with therapeutic importance due to their biological similarities with natural and synthetic drugs. Among all nitrogen heterocyclic compounds, benzimidazoles and their derivatives are privileged molecules structurally akin to naturally available nucleotides, enabling them to intercommunicate with numerous biopolymers in biological systems. This reason enlightens modern researchers worldwide to assess their potential significance in the context of synthetic and biological chemistry. Therefore, it is crucial to merge the latest data with the prior documentation to apprehend the ongoing situation of the benzimidazole moiety in various therapeutic zones of research. The current work displays that the benzimidazole center is a versatile nucleus that offers the necessary data of synthetic alterations for pre-existing compounds to provide new scaffolds to resist numerous therapeutic sectors, including those associated with anticancer and antithrombosis. Due to the potential significance of benzimidazoles, this review aims to emphasize the latest innovations in synthesizing several other notable benzimidazole substrates and their significant pharmacological prospects for the future, including anticancer and antithrombosis.

Novel α-Aminophosphonates of imatinib Intermediate: Synthesis, anticancer Activity, human Abl tyrosine kinase Inhibition, ADME and toxicity prediction.

An efficient method for the synthesis of a new class of α-aminophosphonates of imatinib derivative has been developed in one-pot Kabachnik-Fields reaction of N-(5-amino-2-methyl phenyl)-4-(3-pyridyl)-2-pyrimidine amine with various aldehydes and diethyl phosphite under microwave irradiation and neat conditions using NiO nanoparticles as an reusable and heterogeneous catalyst, with 96% yield at 450 W within 15 min. All the compounds were evaluated for their in vitro cytotoxicity with various cancer cell lines by MTT assay method. Compounds with halo (4f, -4Br, IC50 = 1.068 ± 0.88 µM to 2.033 ± 0.97 µM), nitro substitution (4 h, -3NO2, IC50 = 1.380 ± 0.94 µM to 2.213 ± 0.64 µM), (4 g, -4NO2, IC50 = 1.402 ± 0.79 µM to 2.335 ± 0.73 µM) and (4i, 4-Cl, 3-NO2, IC50 = 1.437 ± 0.92 µM to 2.558 ± 0.76 µM) were showed better anticancer activity when compared with standard drugs Doxorubicin and Imatinib using MTT assay method. Further in silico target hunting reveals the anticancer activity of the designed compounds by inhibiting human ABL tyrosine kinase and all the designed compounds have shown significant drug-like characteristics.

Excellency of pyrimidinyl moieties containing α-aminophosphonates over benzthiazolyl moieties for thermal and structural stability of stem bromelain.

An efficient approach has been made for the synthesis of a series of novel di α-aminophosphonates by the reaction of terephthalaldehyde with various pyrimidine/benzthiazole amines and diethyl phosphite using sulfonated graphitic carbon nitride - SA@g-C3N4 as catalyst under room temperature and solvent free conditions. Later, the different effects of these newly synthesized α-aminophosphonates as a function of concentration gradient has been scrutinized on the thermal and structural stability of stem bromelain (SBM) through combining the results of various spectroscopic techniques like UV-vis, steady state fluorescence and circular dichroism (CD). Lastly the competitive and distinctive behaviour of α-aminophosphonates towards the stability of SBM has been envisaged using molecular docking simulations which suggest that nature of α-aminophosphonates plays a crucial role for their interactions with SBM. Molecular docking results clearly show that α-aminophosphonates with pyrimidine ring are having more number of hydrogen bonding interaction with amino acid residues of SBM than α-aminophosphonates with benzthiazolyl ring. Sequentially for thermal and structure stability of SBM, concentration of α-aminophosphonates plays an inexorable role and through these results it must be concluded that most of the α-aminophosphonates are stabilizing the SBM upto the 0. 1 mM concentration.
