Our previously synthesized 37 compounds, which are 2,5,6-substituted benzoxazole, benzimidazole, benzothiazole, and oxazolo(4,5-b)pyridine derivatives, were tested for their eukaryotic DNA topoisomerase II inhibitory activity in cell free system and 28 were found to inhibit the topoisomerase II at an initial concentration of 100 microg/ml. After further testing at a lower range of concentration...

Structural analyses of the protein-tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) active site and inhibitor complexes have aided in optimization of a peptide inhibitor containing the novel (S)-isothiazolidinone (IZD) phosphonate mimetic. Potency and permeability were simultaneously improved by replacing the polar peptidic backbone of the inhibitor with nonpeptidic moieties. The C-terminal primary amide was re...

Biofouling is the undesirable growth of organisms on artificial and natural structures immersed in either seawater or freshwater. It causes huge economic loss and also the global prohibition on known antifouling agents has led to increase hunt for safe and effective antifouling agents. In the past, marine natural products have shown tremendous potential by providing new skeletons which could be...

One of the goals of medicinal chemistry research and drug discovery is to provide a rationalbasis for the design of new medicinal agents. Organic compounds and their reactions have beenutilized by people since antiquity. Due to the increasing demand for bioactive molecules, organicchemists are increasingly required to synthesize new compounds of biological interest. AsBenzimidazoles are very us...

  Some of fused dihydrobenzo [4,5]imidazo [1,2-a] pyrmido [5,4-e] pyrmidin-3(4H)-amine  derivatives were synthesized,  theses derivatives derived from 4-amino-2-(4-chloro or bromophenyl) -1,2-dihydropyrimido[1,2-a] benzimidazole-3-carbonitrile (4,5), which prepared by reaction 1H-benzimidazol-2-amine (1) and p-chlorobenzaldehyde p-bromobenzaldehyde (2)  and malononitrile (3)...

Abstract The efficiency of various benzimidazole derivatives as mild steel corrosion inhibitors in HCl and H 2 SO 4 medium was evaluated using quantum chemical methods. AM1 semi-empirical method Density Functional Theory (DFT) at the B3LYP/6-31G* level were used. orbital energies (E HOMO E LUMO ), Separation Energy -E Dipole moment (µ), Log P, Polarizability, molecular volume, weight, Hardness ...

A series of (benzamidostyryl)benzimidazole derivatives were synthesized by hydrolyzing 2-phenyl-4-(substituted)benzylidene-5-oxazolones, the azlactone precursors in an acidic medium and treating the product with substituted o-phenylenediamine (OPDA) in situ. The structures of the synthesized compounds were confirmed by spectral and elemental analyses. All synthesized compounds were screened for...

When it was found tha t 2,5-dimethylbenzimidazole inhibits the multiplication of influenza viruses (1-3), a systematic investigation of other alkyl derivatives of benzimidazole was undertaken. I t seemed probable tha t studies on the relationship between the chemical structure of such derivatives and their inhibitory act ivi ty relative to influenza virus multiplication would yield information ...
