Inhibition of angiogenesis through inhibition of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR-2) has been applied in cancer therapy because of its important role in promoting cancer growth and metastasis. In the presented study, a series of benzimidazol-furan hybrids was designed and synthesized through facile synthetic pathways. Evaluation of the synthesized compounds for their in?vitro cytotoxic activity against breast (MCF-7) and hepatocellular (HepG2) carcinoma cell lines was performed. Two of the synthesized conjugates, 10b and 15, showed potent antiproliferative properties against MCF-7 cell line (IC50?=?21.25, 21.35?μM, respectively) in comparison to tamoxifen (IC50?=?21.57?μM). Additionally, compounds 10a, 10b, 15 and 17 showed promising potency (IC50?=?25.95, 22.58, 26.94 and 31.06?μM, respectively) against liver carcinoma cell line HepG2 in contrast to cisplatin (IC50?=?31.16?μM). Moreover, in?vitro evaluation of the synthesized compounds for their effect on the level of VEGFR-2 in MCF-7?cell line showed their potent inhibitory activity relative to control untreated cells. Four compounds 10a, 10b, 14 and 15 showed 92–96% reduction in VEGFR-2 level, compared with tamoxifen and sorafenib which showed inhibition percentage of 98% and 95.75%, respectively. Compound 10a was found to have promising VEGFR-2 inhibitory activity (IC50?=?0.64?μM) in comparison to sorafenib (IC50?=?0.1?μM). Molecular docking was performed to study the binding pattern of the newly synthesized compounds with VEGFR-2 active site. Molecular docking attributed their good VEGFR-2 inhibitory activity to their hydrogen bonding interaction with the key amino acids in VEGFR-2 active site, Glu885 and Asp1046, and their hydrophobic interaction by their 2-furylbenzimidazole moiety with the allosteric hydrophobic back pocket in a type III inhibitors-like binding mode. The binding interaction is augmented by a ring substituent with long chain extension at position 1 of the benzimidazole due to its hydrophobic interaction with the hydrophobic side chains of the amino acids at the interface between the ATP binding site and the allosteric back pocket. Structure-activity relationship (SAR) was inferred for future optimization based on the performed biological and docking studies.

Metal-organic hybrid complexes often exhibit large surface area, pore volume, fascinating structures and potential applications including catalytic applications. Hence a new metal-organic hybrid complex [Diaquo{bis(p-hydroxybenzoato-κ1O1)}(1-methylimidazole- κ1N1)}copper(II)] was synthesized using conventional method. Physico-chemical characterization of the complex was performed with FTIR spectroscopy, single crystal X-ray diffraction, TGA, EPR and FESEM. Single crystal X-ray diffraction study suggests it to be three dimensional with space group P212121 (orthorhombic). The crystal achieves its three-dimensional structure and stability through extensive intermolecular hydrogen bonding. Hirshfeld surface analysis, catalytic activity and DFT study of the complex was also performed. The synthesized complex acts as good catalyst in benzimidazole synthesis with good recyclability as catalyst up to 5th run.

Co nanoparticles (NPs) encapsulated in N-doped carbon nanotubes (Co@NC900) are systematically investigated as a potential alternative to precious Pt-group catalysts for hydrogenative heterocyclization reactions. Co@NC900 can efficiently catalyze hydrogenative coupling of 2-nitroaniline to benzaldehyde for synthesis of 2-phenyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazole with >99 % yield at ambient temperature in one step. The robust Co@NC900 catalyst can be easily recovered by an external magnetic field after the reaction and readily recycled for at least six times without any evident decrease in activity. Kinetic experiments indicate that Co@NC900-promoted hydrogenation is the rate-determining step with a total apparent activation energy of 41±1 kJ mol?1. Theoretical investigations further reveal that Co@NC900 can activate both H2 and the nitro group of 2-nitroaniline. The observed energy barrier for H2 dissociation is only 2.70 eV in the rate-determining step, owing to the presence of confined Co NPs in Co@NC900. Potential industrial application of the earth-abundant and non-noble transition metal catalysts is also explored for green and efficient synthesis of heterocyclic compounds.

We report the tetramethyl ammonium hydroxide catalyzed oxidative coupling of amines and alcohols for the synthesis of imines under metal-free conditions by utilizing oxygen from air as the terminal oxidant. Under the same conditions, with ortho-phenylene diamines and 2-aminobenzenethiols the corresponding benzimidazoles and benzothiazoles were obtained. Quinoxalines were obtained from ortho-phenylene diamines and 1-phenylethane-1,2-diol, the conditions were then extended to the synthesis of quinoline building blocks by reaction of 2-amino benzyl alcohols either with 1-phenylethan-1-ol or acetophenone derivatives. The formation of C?N, C?S and C?C bonds was achieved under metal-free conditions. A broad range of amines (aromatic, aliphatic, cyclic and heteroaromatic) as well as benzylic alcohols including heteroaryl alcohols reacted smoothly and provided the desired products. The mild reaction conditions, commercially available catalyst, metal-free, good functional-group tolerance, broad range of products (imines, benzimidazoles, benzothiazoles, quinoxalines and quinolines) and applicability at gram scale reactions are the advantages of the present strategy.
