Synthesis, antiglycation and antioxidant potentials of benzimidazole derivatives

Benzimidazole derivatives 1–20 were synthesized and evaluated for antiglycation and antioxidant potentials. Among the series some analogs showed antiglycating potential ranging in between 182.30 ± 1.20 and 473.51 ± 2.17 when compared with standard rutin (IC50 value 295.09 ± 1.04 µM) and for antioxidant potential ranging between 22.42 ± 0.26 and 82.30 ± 1.33 when compare with standard Propyl gallate (IC50 value 29.20 ± 1.25). Compound 2, 6, 10 and 19 showed potent antioxidant and antiglycation inhibitory potentials. Compounds 7, 11, 13, 15 and 20 showed moderate antiglycating potential with IC50 values 473.51 ± 2.17, 325.20 ± 1.70, 440.0 ± 3.60, 370.60 ± 2.80 and 415.20 ± 3.20 μM, and these compounds also showed excellent antioxidant potential with IC50 values 73.51 ± 1.17, 45.63 ± 0.92, 82.30 ± 1.33, 75.41 ± 1.51, 40.60 ± 0.80 and 64.92 ± 1.41 μM respectively. The remaining compounds 1, 3, 4, 5, 8, 9, 12, 14, 16, 17and 18 were found inactive. Keywords: Synthesis, Benzimidazole, Antiglycating, Antioxidant, SAR
