O tautomerismo de cinco 2,2'-bis-benzimidazóis, simetricamente substituídos, [5(6),5’(6’)tetrametil(1); 5(6),5’(6’)-dimetil-(2); 5(6),5’(6’)-dicloro(3); 5(6),5’(6’)-dimetoxi(4) e 4(7),4’(7’)dimetil-2,2’-bis-benzimidazol (5)], foi estudado por espectroscopia de H RMN, a várias temperaturas, e a influência dos substituintes nas barreiras energéticas de interconversão tautomérica, interpretada atr...

Benzimidazoles 1-4 were obtained using modified synthesis methods and studied for their ability to inhibit cell proliferation of colon cancer cell HCT-116 and breast cancer cell MCF-7 using MTT assays. In the HCT-116 cell line, benzimidazole 2 was found to have an IC50 value of 16.2 ± 3.85 μg/mL and benzimidazole 1 a value of 28.5 ± 2.91 μg/mL, while that for benzimidazole 4 was 24.08 ± 0.31 μg...

Benzimidazoles are among the most important nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds that have many pharmaceutical applications, including antitumor, anticancer, anticorrosive, antibacterial, irritant and enzymatic interceptors. In this research, the synthesis of benzimidazoles by using o-phenylenediamine and aldehyde derivatives in the presence of the nano montemurillonite in solvent-free an...

An efficient method has been developed for the catalysis of condensation of 1,2-phenylenediamines and 2-aminothiophenoles with different aldehydes into their corresponding 2-aryl-1H-benzimidazoles and 2-aryl-1H-benzothiazoles under mild condition. In this method, trans-3,5-dihydroperoxy-3,5-dimethyl-1,2-dioxolane (DHPDMDO)/HOAc/KI system was used as a novel and effective oxidant in water at roo...

Indandione 1 was brominated to yield 2-bromoIndandione 2 which on further reacted with substituted thiocarbamides, carbamides, 2-aminothiophenols, 2-aminophenol and triazoles to furnished 3-substituted aniline-2-thia-4-aza-6,7-benzo-8-oxo-bicyclo [3.3.0]-1(5),3-octadiene 3, 3-substituted aniline-2-oxa-4-aza-6,7-benzo-8-oxo-bicyclo [3.3.0]-1(5),3-octadiene 4, 2-Thia-5-aza-9-oxo-3,4-(3’-substitut...

Aromatic dicationic molecules possess impressive activity against a broad spectrum of microbial pathogens, including Pneumocystis carinii, Cryptosporidium parvum, and Candida albicans. In this work, 58 aromatic cations were examined for inhibitory activity against axenic amastigote-like Leishmania donovani parasites. In general, the most potent of the compounds were substituted diphenyl furan a...
