Quinoline-imidazole/benzimidazole derivatives as dual-/multi-targeting hybrids inhibitors with anticancer and antimicrobial activity

© 2022. The Author(s)..

Two new classes of hybrid quinoline-imidazole/benzimidazole derivatives (the hybrid QIBS salts and QIBC cycloadducts) were designed and synthesized to evaluate their anticancer and antimicrobial activity. The strategy adopted for synthesis is straight and efficient, in four steps: N-acylation, N-alkylation, quaternization and a Huisgen 3 + 2 cycloaddition. The in vitro single-dose anticancer assay of forty six hybrid quinoline-benzimidazole compounds reveal that one QIBS salt (11h), has an excellent quasi nonselective activity against all type of cancer cell with an excellent PGI in the area of 90-100% and very good lethality. Three others quinoline-imidazole/benzimidazole hybrids (8h, 12h, 12f) has an excellent selective activity against some cancer cell lines: breast cancer MDA-MB-468 and Leukemia HL-60 TB). The five-dose assay screening confirms that compound 11h possesses excellent anti-proliferative activity, with GI50 in the range of nano-molar, against some cancer cell lines: Leukemia HL-60 TB, Leukemia K-526, Leukemia RPMI-8226, Breast cancer MDA-MB-468, Lung cancer HOP-92 and Ovarian cancer IGROV1. The antibacterial assay indicates that three hybrid QIBS salts (12f, 12c, 12d) have an excellent activity against Gram-negative bacteria E. coli (superior to control Gentamicin) while against Gram-positive bacteria S. aureus only one compound 8i (R2 = -CF3) exhibits a significant activity (superior to control Gentamicin). The MIC assay indicates that two other compounds (11h, 12h) are biologically active to a very low concentration, in the range of nano-molar. We believe that all these excellent assets related to anticancer and antibacterial activities, make from our hybrid quinoline-imidazole/benzimidazole compounds bearing a phenyl group (R2 = -C6H5) in the para (4)-position of the benzoyl moiety a good candidate for future drug developing.
