Resumen:
The relaxant activity of 2-(o, p-substituted phenyl)-1H-benzimidazole derivatives with various 5- and 6-position substituents (-H, -CH3, -NO2, -CF3), namely 1-7, was recorded using the in vitro rat aorta ring test. Compounds 3 and 6 [2-(5-nitro-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)phenol and 2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-5-nitro-1H-benzimidazole] were prepared using a short route, and were the most potent compounds of the series, showing IC50 value of 0.95 and 1.41 (with endothelium) and 2.01 and 3.61 ?M (without endothelium), respectively. Studying further structure-activity relationships through the use of bioisosteric substitution in these benzimidazole derivatives should provide novel vasorelaxant leads and possibly against hypertensive diseases. © 2006 Elsevier Inc.
