Structure-Based Design of Novel Benzimidazole Derivatives as Pin1 Inhibitors.[Pubmed:30934730]

Molecules. 2019 Mar 27;24(7). pii: molecules24071198.

Peptidyl-prolyl cis/trans isomerase Pin1 plays a key role in amplifying and translating multiple oncogenic signaling pathways during oncogenesis. The blockade of Pin1 provided a unique way of disrupting multiple oncogenic pathways and inducing apoptosis. Aiming to develop potent Pin1 inhibitors, a series of Benzimidazole derivatives were designed and synthesized. Among the derivatives, compounds 6h and 13g showed the most potent Pin1 inhibitory activity with IC50 values of 0.64 and 0.37 muM, respectively. In vitro antiproliferative assay demonstrated that compounds 6d, 6g, 6h, 6n, 6o and 7c exhibited moderate antiproliferative activity against human prostate cancer PC-3 cells. Taken together, these unique Benzimidazole derivatives exhibited great potential to be further explored as potent Pin1 inhibitors with improved potency.

Benzimidazole-based DGAT1 inhibitors with a [3.1.0] bicyclohexane carboxylic acid moiety.[Pubmed:30926247]

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2019 May 15;29(10):1182-1186.

Previously disclosed Benzimidazole-based DGAT1 inhibitors containing a cyclohexane carboxylic acid moiety suffer from isomerization at the alpha position of the carboxylic acid group, generating active metabolites which exhibit DGAT1 inhibition comparable to the corresponding parent compounds. In this report, we describe the design, synthesis and profiling of Benzimidazole-based DGAT1 inhibitors with a [3.1.0] bicyclohexane carboxylic acid moiety. Our results show that single isomer 3A maintains in vitro and in vivo inhibition against DGAT1. In contrast to previous lead compounds, 3A does not undergo isomerization during in vitro hepatocyte incubation study or in vivo mouse study.

Discovery of novel bacterial FabH inhibitors (Pyrazol-Benzimidazole amide derivatives): Design, synthesis, bioassay, molecular docking and crystal structure determination.[Pubmed:30925337]

Eur J Med Chem. 2019 Mar 14;171:209-220.

The enzyme FabH catalyzes the initial step of fatty acid biosynthesis that is essential for bacterial survival. Therefore, FabH has been identified as an attractive target for the development of new antibacterial agents. We present here the discovery of a promising new series of Pyrazol-Benzimidazole amides with low toxicity and potent FabH inhibitory. Twenty-seven novel compounds have been synthesized, and all the compounds were characterized by (1)H NMR, (13)C NMR and MS. Afterwards they were evaluated for in-vitro antibacterial activities against E. coli, P. aeruginosa, B. subtilis and S. aureus, along with E. coli FabH inhibition and cytotoxicity test. Some compounds proved to be of low toxicity and potent, especially compound 31 exhibited the most potential to be a new drug with MIC of 0.49-0.98mug/mL against the tested bacterial strains and IC50 of 1.22muM against E. coli FabH. Eight analogues 16, 28, 30, 31, 33, 34, 35 and 36 with low range MIC against wild type Xanthomonas Campestris exhibited no inhibition against FabH-deficient mutant strain, which firmly proved the class of compounds arrived at antibacterial activity via interacting with FabH. In silico ADMET (Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, Excretion and Toxicity) evaluation also pointed out that these compounds are potential for druggability. Further, effective overall docking scores of all the compounds have been recorded, and docking simulation of compound 31 into E. coli FabH binding pocket has been conducted, where solid binding interactions has been identified.

Benzimidazole is a heterocyclic aromatic organic compound and acts as an important pharmacophore in medicinal chemistry. Benzimidazole derivatives have been reported to possess various biological activities such as anti-cancer, anti-viral, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-helmintic, anti-inflammatory, proton pump inhibitor and anti-coagulant property.
