Abstract
A series of Hoechst 33258 based mono- and bisbenzimidazoles have been synthesized and their Escherichia coli DNA topoisomerase I inhibition, binding to B-DNA duplex, and antibacterial activity has been evaluated. Bisbenzimidazoles with alkynyl side chains display excellent E. coli DNA topoisomerase I inhibition properties with IC values 32 μg/mL). Bisbenzimidazoles showed varied stabilization of B-DNA duplex (1.2-23.4 °C), and cytotoxicity studies show similar variation dependent upon the side chain length. Modeling studies suggest critical interactions between the inhibitor side chain and amino acids of the active site of DNA topoisomerase I.
