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.

This study aimed to evaluate the potential of phytochemicals from two native UAE plant species, Arthrocnemum macrostachyum and Tamarix nilotica, as anti-cancer agents. The plant extracts were obtained using two methods, maceration, and microwave-assisted extraction (MAE), and were subsequently evaluated for their in vitro cytotoxicity against three cancer cell lines: breast (MDA-MB-231), colon (HCT-116), and lung (A-549). Results suggest that: 1) MAE is more efficient than maceration in recovering metabolites from plant biomass based on measurements of total phenolic content, radical scavenging activity, and bioactivity of extracts based on in vitro cytotoxicity.

Background: Piperidines are among the essential synthetic fragments for designing drugs and play a significant role in the pharmaceutical industry. The synthesis of newer derivatives by incorporating different amines paves the way for the introduction of novel drug combinations for current cancer treatments.
Method: The new combinations of 1-(4-bromo-2-(pyrrolidine-1-yl) benzyl) piperidine derivatives were synthesized by adding various amino groups.
